Meanwhile Cardinal starter Callon Suftliff was cruising. He kept the Clippers from scoring for six innings and only gave one hit until the Germatown rally in the final stanza.
In the seventh Germantown tied the game at 1-1. Jonathon Mollo tripled to drive inthe tying run and scored on a single to left field by Logan McDonald to hand the Clippers the walk-off win.
It was the second year in a row that Fort Ann lost to the Clippers by a run in the finals. The loss ends the Cardinal's season. Fort Ann turned their season around after a 1-4 start.
Mason Ferrer earned the pitching win for Germantown in relief of Mollo
