With 2 outs and the Alums ahead 4-1 in the top of the 7th, Tony Vega ('11) takes a lead at 3rd.

Varsity pitcher Andrew Montague works his way into the meat of the Alumni lineup.

Leo Candelas ('09) watches from the on-deck circle as Montague delivers an ankle duster to Chris Cullen ('10) in the 7th. Cullen's base on balls allows him to join Vega ('11) and Rivera ('08) to load the bases for the Alums.

Unflappable Alumni batter Leo Candelas ('09) listens to a little of Montague's 7th inning chin music.

Left handed batter Matt Cavazos ('08) may not always have his best side to the camera, but that doesn't keep him from getting on base to extend the Alumni's 2-out rally.

With 2 outs and 2 strikes against him in the top of the 7th, Akins Alumnus Charles Morton ('05) delivers an RBI base hit to left field.

Moving from behind the plate to the pitching rubber, Brandon Rivera ('08) takes on the role of closer for the Alumni in the 7th inning.
