Messina made the tag after teammate Mike Norton caught a fly ball for the second out of the inning and made the throw from left field to complete a 7-2, inning-ending double play. It turned out to be the play of the game, as it preserved a 3-2 lead for Dunkirk. The Marauders went on to win 4-3, eliminating Fredonia from playoff contention in Class B-2. Image by Greg Larson
