    Jayden Quandt lays a tag at second during Aurora’s 7-5 loss to York.

    The sixth inning was the game-defining moment for York and the Aurora Cooperative Juniors squads at Mitchell Field June 8. 
    York posted a five-run sixth inning to take the lead and eventually hang on for a 7-5 win over the Aurora Cooperative Juniors team. 
    Aurora Cooperative Juniors coach Bodie Moeller pointed out that the finer details were something the Juniors had a handle on early in the game, but that fell away when the innings got late. 
    “I thought we started out playing pretty well against York and did a lot of things right,” the coach said. “However as the game went on we stopped doing the little things right. Those little things eventually started to add up and it cost us the game.”
