It was a back and forth game for Mattituck at Center Moriches High School this morning, but the Tuckers ultimately came out on top with a 9-4 win.
Mattituck took the lead early on with three runs in the first inning, but Center Moriches quickly answered with two more in the bottom half. By mid-game, Center Moriches had pulled out in front with a 4-3 lead.
After a couple slow innings, Mattituck tied the game up in the fifth, but that wasn’t enough for the Tuckers. A few solid hits and a walk with bases loaded boosted the score to 8-4 by the end of the inning.
The sixth inning brought in one more for Mattituck for a final score of 9-4.
The Tuckers will next play in Greenport on May 3 at 4:30 p.m.
