MIAMI (Oct. 16, 2020) – Fall Ball 2020 concluded with fireworks on Thursday night, with Derek Cartaya's Gold squad topping Daniel Brown's Blue team 1-0 in a sudden-death tiebreaker. 
 
Gold dominated game one on Monday by scoring early and often in a 20-6 victory. Game two was played to a 3-3 tie and was called after 11 innings on Tuesday before a scheduled off-day on Wednesday.
 
Blue's bats came alive to tie the series on Thursday with a 9-8 victory and force the tiebreaker. 
 
After much deliberation, a bases-loaded, one-out scenario was introduced to decide the series. 
 
Gold received a strikeout and a groundout from Zac Lampton in the top half of sudden death, before freshman shortstop Steven Ondina singled home Alec Sanchez to win it for the Gold team.
