Sickles 12
Plant 2 – five innings

Plant jumped out early on an RBI single from Bryce Pelleriti and a sac bunt by Thomas Bolton, but Sickles quickly answered and piled on to end things early to remain undefeated. Jordan Yost crossed the plate on a double steal in the home-first to give the Gryphons the advantage. From there, Thomas Bly continued on the mound working three scoreless innings and striking out five. Luke Fikar stretched the lead with an RBI double, and Caden McDonald’s two-run double kicks off an eight-run inning to end things in five, when Connor Vance lined a game-ending single to right.
