Jim's notes: East Coast took charge early scoring four runs in the first inning on doubles by Ty Fletcher, Brody Manley and Talen Cisco and proceeded to a 9-0 win over Ottawa with strong pitching from Max Turnbull (3-2/3 innings, 0 runs, 3 hits). Manley had two RBI and Cisco added a triple; Braylon Benedetti also had a double; Owen Babenko and Kegan Finn both had two singles. Carter Niese got the loss for Ottawa with #12 (not listed) relieving; Brendan Barlage, Grant Leoplod, and Brayden Niese had singles.

Jim's notes: Findlay's Kellen Frankart and Sidney's Chase Monnin dueled into the sixth inning tied 2-2, but in the bottom of the sixth a leadoff error and a two out rally (RBI single by Trenton Smith, infield error and a two run double by Frankart) gave Findlay a 5-2 lead and reliever Grant Mason (taking over in the top of the sixth) closed out for the win. Noah Aufderhaar and Caleb Davis had two hits for Sidney, Atley Zerkle had a double; Monnin pitched the complete game. Findlay was led by Trenton Smith (3 hits, 1RBI), Frankart (3 hits, 2RBI, double) and Landen Stansbery (2 hits) with Frankart going 5-1/3 innings and Grant Mason closing the game out.

Jim's notes: Columbus/532 was short on pitching and Adrian/275 short on bodies - leading to an interesting game. Columbus starter Drew Hobbs went 4-2/3 innings (pitch count) and left with a 10-10 tie - Columbus then almost got out of the bottom of the 6th with a tie, but with two out Adrian scored twice on a single, error, walk, wild pitch and an RBI single by Jordan Medellin. Carter Bettcher started for Adrian (5 runs, 3 earned?) followed by Cameron Sherwood (2 runs, 1 earned?) and Max Bledsoe who got the win (3 runs, 1 earned?). For Columbus I had Casey Lee with 2 hits (2B), Micah Carroll and Dana Byrd with 2RBI each, and Caden Camphorst with a double. Adrian had two hits from Medellin, 2RBI from Tristan Hayes and Jordan Illenden, and doubles from Hayes and Calen Keith.
