Right fielder Justin Carwile continued the Charger rally with a double to left, bringing home King and Beckner to put Chantilly up 3-1.

After an intentional walk to left fielder Patrick Moore, Yates followed with a fielder’s choice grounder to second to score Morrisroe, putting Chantilly up 5-2. The Chargers added two more runs in the 6th as second baseman Danny Bates was hit by a pitch, advanced on center fielder Chris Gentile’s bunt base hit, and scored on Langford’s RBI single to right center.
