TIOGA CENTER "” Tioga scored six runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to rally for a 10-4 win over Sayre here Saturday morning in the first round of the "Wounded Warrior Baseball Classic."

The Tigers broke a scoreless tie with two runs in the home half of the third inning. Senior Derrick Barto and sophomore Derrick Gage rapped RBI singles.

The Redskins answered with four runs in the top of the fourth inning, despite just one hit in the rally.

Sophomore Zach Moore stroked a two-RBI single to cap the scoring.

Tioga's response was swift as well, plating six runs in the bottom of the fourth to take an 8-4 lead.

Junior Mason Booser ripped a two-run triple to tie the game at 4-4, and Barto followed with an RBI single to give the Tigers the lead for good. Junior Brady Worthing capped the rally with a two-run single.
