Rather than retreating into its shell when Apollo scored in Tuesday afternoon’s 6A baseball playoff elimination game, Millennium attacked back at its first opportunity.
The visiting Hawks grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning, only for the Tigers to answer with three in the bottom half.
No. 13 Apollo rallied in the top of the fourth to cut the home team’s lead to 5-4. No. 12 Millennium almost immediately loaded the bases, and sophomore Juan Cuen quickly unloaded them with a three-run triple to the right field corner.
