Teammate Kevin McNorton, also of Shelby County, allowed one unearned run in one inning on the mound. McNorton walked twice in two plate appearances.

Calera High School senior Trent Posey was the star at the plate for the Central team. Posey drilled a two-run single to center field to plate the game-tying and game-winning run in the top of the sixth inning.
