HOW IT HAPPENED:

Centenary slowly built a 4-1 lead after the third inning.

Centenary then took advantage of two errors in the inning and pushed across three runs on two groundouts and a wild pitch.

Kean got one back in the bottom of the tenth as CJ Tomalavage lined an RBI pinch-hit single but that was as close as they would get for the final.
