WEST POINT - For the second time in two weeks, the GACC/West Point-Beemer Patriots take down the Thurston-Cuming County Thunder.

The Patriot bats got going early in Saturday afternoon's battle, scoring three runs on three hits in the bottom of the first inning.

The Thunder rolled right back, tying the game on a bases-clearing triple by Owen Kneifl. In the very next at bat, Trevor Trimble gave TCC the lead with an RBI single.

GACC/WPB rallied back to take the lead in the third inning to hold a 5-4 lead.

Still leading 5-4, the Patriots started off the bottom of the 5th with back to back doubles by Cody Hass and Trey Schlecht. Both runners would come home in the inning, along with Logan Rolf to lead 8-4.

GACC/WPB tacked on another run in the 6th before locking down the TCC bats in the top of the 7th to end the game with a 9-4 victory.

The Patriots improve to 8-9 this season, preparing for their District matchup with Douglas County West next week, while the Thunder fall to 9-7 and will try to bounce back in the District battle against Roncalli Catholic.
