Hillsborough Co. Baseball Round-up 3/28/18
Miami Westminster Christian 2, Berkeley Prep 1
Berkeley Prep’s comeback attempt came up just short as it scored one in the seventh inning off a Cade Kurland singled in Ryan Leavy, but the Buccaneers would leave the bases loaded without getting the tying run across halting a five-game win streak. Westminster Christian got all it needed in the first inning on a two-run home run by Logan O’Neil.
