The seventh inning five run deficit comeback moved Geneva, now 8-9 overall, 2-3 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference, back into the win column after a three loss stretch.

Monteparte’s game winning homer brought in Dan Jeffreys (Moon Township, PA/Moon) and Tyler Damazo (Beaver Falls, PA/Blackhawk) in the six run seventh inning.

Earlier in the game, Damazo’s double rbi brought home Andy Santana (San Pedro de Marcoris, DR/Desert Christian) in the bottom of the first, sliming Waynesburg’s lead to 2-1.
