North Hall enters the deciding third game of its state semifinal series against Blessed Trinity with a pretty positive outlook on things, even though it dropped the second game of the series 8-5 Monday at Jody Davis Field in Gainesville. Trailing 8-0 going into the top of the seventh, North Hall plated five runs and brought the tieing run to the plate with one out, before a ground out double-play secured the victory for the top-ranked Titans. “I’m very pleased with the fight our kids showed there at the end of the game and feel it definitely gives us some momentum heading into Game 3,” North Hall coach Trent Mongero said.
