In the eighth inning West Hills was able to string together hits and get momentum in its favor. Alante Uribe got things started with a single to the left side. Uribe finished the day with four base hits. A sacrifice bunt from Danny Perez then moved Uribe to second base. Ronnie Cross followed up Perez with a push bunt down the first base line.
