Riverview 8, Sarasota 5 (8)
Riverview jumped out early with four runs on Sarasota, and battled to extra innings before the Sharks sank the Sailors with a three-run eighth inning. Freshman Justin Edwards (who was 2-for-2, with a RBI and walk) started off the extra inning with a single, and scored the deciding run on a Gabe Boltz line drive hit, before the Sharks added insurance on a double steal and an error. Anthony Jacquez was 2-for-3 with a double, two runs and an RBI, Sebastian Rojas also had two hits, including a two-run double in the first inning, and Ryan Butner added two hits (including a double) and a run, and provided some great defense. Connar Satterfield pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief, before turning the ball over to Michael Sims-Gallagher, who held the Sailors to two hits and recored the final five outs to pick up the win.

Wharton 10, East Bay 9
Wharton was able to hold off East Bay for a win on the road on Saturday as the Wildcats put up crooked numbers in three-straight innings. Four, fifth-inning doubles from Justis Meadows (2-for-3, run, RBI), Jake Turer (2-for-3, run, RBI), Drew Cobb (3-for-4, two runs, RBI), and AJ Johnstone (1-for-3, three RBI) keyed a five run inning to push Wharton out just far enough. East Bay tried to rally for a win in the final inning for the second-straight game scoring four on a home run by Kyler Browning (4-for-4, double, two runs, three RBI), and two errors, but the Indians couldn’t scratch out the tying run. Jeffrey Diab (run) and Bobby Hayes (two RBI, run) each had two hits in the loss.
