Behind a solid performance from shortstop Mark Huffman, the Palm Beach Gardens HS Gators defeated the Blanchard HS Ligers, 11-6. Huffman went 2-2 with a triple and 3 walks. He scored 2 times for the Gators. Ernesto Griffin earned the win for Palm Beach Gardens HS. He lasted 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 1-0. After today's action, Palm Beach Gardens HS sits at 11-8, while Blanchard HS falls to 6-13.

A key at-bat in the game came in the bottom of the third inning when the Gators sent teenager Paul Larkin to the plate against Ligers hurler Héctor Reyes. With runners on 1st and 2nd and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a double off a first pitch fastball to score 2.

"We maximized our offense today," said Palm Beach Gardens HS skipper Wesley Berry. "That makes everyone's life easier."
