Baseball Game

The Bay City Bluebirds rallied from a 3-run deficit Tuesday to defeat the Carmel Cardinals 6-3 and win the Western Tri-State Division Championship.
The Bluebirds are now assured a place in the Tri-State playoffs next week.
Their opponent will be determined Thursday in a game between the Santa Ana Generals and the Redwood Knights.
The Cardinals led the Bluebirds for most of the game, and they had a 3-0 lead in the eighth-inning.
In the Bluebird half of the eighth, Tim Story, the first baseman, walked and stole second. Left fielder Biff Carbosi was walked intentionally, and both runners moved up a base on a wild pitch by Cardinal starter Ronnie Miller. Miller was then relieved by Chuck Nelson.
Bluebird second baseman Carbo Garbey lined Nelson's first pitch into deep center field, scoring both base runners. Two pitches later, Garbey stole home to tie the game.
Nelson got the next two hitters out, but then Carey Clark, the Bluebird catcher, ran home to put the Bluebirds ahead. The Bluebirds added two more runs in the ninth to ensure their victory.
