“We know coming into these games that you’re not going to have those high run type games,” Austin head coach Chris Gogolewski said. “They had the key hits and we left a couple of guys in scoring position. It would’ve been nice if the tables would’ve been switched and we would’ve had a couple of runs.”
Jake Reinartz allowed just three hits and two earned runs to go with his seven strikeouts for Austin.
The Packers will now play an elimination game against Farmington in Dundas 11 a.m. Monday.
