Glenville early in the top of the fourth inning had a chance to bring home senior Mitch Lohr. Lohr started the inning with a double for the Pioneers. Chris Davila grounded out to the shortstop but advanced Lohr to third. However, the next two batters where not able to score due to Concord's defensive plays in the infield and outfield.
