In their second game of the day OTC held off a furious seventh inning rally by Bagley to post an 8-7 victory on Friday, surviving 7 errors in the contest.  OTC scored 3 in the first and 2 in the second to take a 5-0 lead, but Bagley came back with a single run in the third and two more in the fourth to cut the Bulldogs lead to 5-3.  A 3-run sixth by OTC gave them an 8-3 lead and Bagley’s 7th inning rally which saw four runners cross the plate, left the final at 8-7.
