The win sends the Southeast Region champions into today’s 1 p.m. championship game against Stamford, Connecticut, which beat Eagle Pass, Texas 3-2 in Friday’s first semifinal.

Volpe took over on the mound with Tallahassee trailing 3-1 in the top of the fourth inning after an intentional walk loaded the bases with two outs. The right-hander struck out Price’s No. 3 hitter and then faced just one batter over the minimum in the final three innings, allowing just a walk. He finished with three strikeouts and no hits allowed.

Tallahassee tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. After a walk to AJ Henry and a single by Volpe, a passed ball moved runners to second and third. Bryce Bedonie greeted a Price reliever with a sacrifice fly to center field and after Cooper Bishop singled, another passed ball allowed courtesy runner Dylan Doughtry to score the tying run.

Tallahassee took the lead for good an inning later. Parker Rudd reached on an error and Parker Pennington singled before another error allowed Rudd to score all the way from second base.

That run was all Volpe would need in the final two innings as he only had to pitch around a leadoff walk in the top of the sixth.

Price took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Nate Tatton led off the game with a single and stole second, went to third on Jaxton Smith’s groundout, and scored on Alex Martinez’s RBI sacrifice bunt. With two outs, Ron Tellefsen Player of the Game Jace Bosone singled, stole second, and scored on Rigdon Rhoten’s RBI double.

Rudd made it 2-1 in the bottom of the first when he walked, went to second on a fielder’s choice, went to third on a walk, and scored on a one-out sacrifice fly from Henry.

Price’s third run came in the third inning as Smith led off with a single, stole second and later scored on Bosone’s RBI single.

But Price, the Pacific Southwest Region champion, was unable to score again over the final four innings as Tallahassee rallied for the victory.

Price will take on Eagle Pass in the 10 a.m. consolation game today at Diethrick Park.
