Lakeland starter Evan Berta, a left-hander, was cruising, needing just 29 pitches to get through three innings, before Queensbury erupted in the fourth.

Sylvia tied the game with a two-out single to center. After Mike Guido walked, Brendan Scott hit a bases-loaded triple to right center to make it 4-1. Berta threw 32 pitches in the inning

Queensbury (19-4) added an insurance run in the sixth on Mike Guido's two-out single..
