Trenton opened up an early lead against PHS by scoring once in the top of the 1st inning, then four additional runs in the 2nd.  The lead ballooned to 7-0 after 4 1/2 innings.  The Tigers made things very interesting late, with a pair of tallies in the 5th inning followed by three runs in the bottom of the 7th.  Trenton’s single tally in the top of the 7th proved to be a valuable insurance run for the Bulldogs.
