Braun singled on a 1-2 count, scoring two of the Devils’ three runs in the bottom of the second inning to fire up the Wayne bats. Wayne’s Seniors tallied three more runs in the third inning, with James Dorcey and Braun contributing with RBIs in the side. Dorcey was also the winning pitcher for Wayne. The righty surrendered one run on four hits over seven innings, striking out eight Ponca batters and walking one.
