Some drama in the bottom of the 7th – Todd Ballard led of with a single, then lead off batter Kory Manns worked the count to 2-2 when Kelowna noticed the bat was “altered” for having too much pine tar. The at-bat was allowed to continue (with a different bat) but Kory struck out. Then Kenny Manns lined into a double play to end the game. Firefighters out.
