The lead changed a few times, but we were able to pull the win at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville scored three times in the top of the sixth to erase a 5-3 Middletown lead, but the Mustangs countered with a run in the bottom half to tie the score at 6-all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bradyn Ponce, the third of three Kelseyville pitchers, earned the win in relief.
