Hunter Poole gave Coker the lead in the top of the fourth, and after a Wasps run, Kyler Odom put the Cobras back infront in the fifth.
In the sixth, Coker retook the lead when Edens ripped another base hit. Three batters later, Santiago brought in another run. In the top of the eighth, Coker found themselves trailing once more. The Cobras scored on a wild pitch, to ultimately force extra innings.
Tyler Satterley was great in relief for Coker working out of minimal jams, keeping the Wasps at bay. In the ninth inning, after surrendering a leadoff walk. Emory & Henry roped a ball to Adam Wilkerson in left field, who came up firing, throwing out the lead runner at third base. The Cobras took that momentum into the top half of the 10th, and quickly found themselves with bases loaded. Gabriel Santiago singled with the bases loaded to give Coker a 8-7 lead. That lead was all Satterley needed, working a quick 1-2-3 inning to finish off the Wasps and give Coker a three game sweep.
