GAME TWO
ST. LEO, Fla.—The Barry Buccaneers fell 8-7 to the host Saint Leo Lions in the final game of the 2005 Bob Tewksbury Classic at Thomas B. Southard Stadium Saturday night.

The Lions jumped out to a big early lead, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to snap a 2-2 tie. Ray Horal drove in two runs with a double.
The Bucs clawed their way back into the game, scoring single runs in the fifth and sixth, then two runs in the eighth on a two-run single by
Cesar Aranguren. Barry tied the game in the ninth inning, when
Nick Corbeil led off with a triple and pinch runner
Bobby Hartney came across to score on a two-single by
Alex Meneses.
The Lions finally pushed across the winning run in the 11th inning. Pinch hitter Sean VanGilder and Eric Thompson singled to lead off the inning off
Jesse Naber (0-1).
Ray Rhoads came on in relief and Ricky Nolan advanced the runners with a bunt. After Rhoads walked Will Justin intentionally to lead the bases, pinch hitter Rhett Teller lifted a fly ball into right field to score VanGilder.
