Drew Benefield drove in the go-ahead run to give Siegel baseball the lead in the eighth inning, and they hung on to beat Summit 3-2 on Thursday. That's after defeating the Spartans 9-5 in game one for force the deciding game. Carson Simmons pitched a great game for the Stars, giving up only one earned run on four hits and five strikeouts.
