Plant City 3
#3 Bloomingdale 1
A two-run homer to right from freshman Alex Rodriguez gave Plant City all it needed to send Bloomingdale on its way with its first loss in eight nine games. With the lead in hand, Jake Carbaugh held Bloomingdale scoreless through five-plus innings before a Vinny Dinzeo Jr. solo home run led off the sixth for the Bulls only run. Carbaugh struck out five before turning the ball over to Rodriguez, who struck out one and walked one while earning his third save of the year. Hayden Porter pitched five innings for Bloomingdale and had 10 strikeouts in the loss.

Tampa Prep 3
#2 Tampa Catholic 2
Finally, timely hitting allowed Tampa Prep to rally for three runs in the sixth and even the regular-season series with a win against Tampa Catholic. After being held hitless through the first five innings, two walk-in the sixth set up Kyle Brill, who drove in a run with a ground ball, then Liam Akins followed with an RBI single and Jordan Della Rocca‘s double to center gave the Terrapins the needed run to snatch the win. Akins pitched six innings and struck out six, while allowing two runs on four hits, and Lincoln Bailey allowed one hit, but nothing else in a scoreless seventh. Talan Miranda pitched 5 2/3 innings for the Crusaders and struck out three, while allowing just one hit; Cal Johnson started TC out with a first-inning RBI double; and Lucas Cinnante was 2-for-3 with an RBI.

Cambridge Christian 6
Seffner Christian 3
Cambridge Christian got a leadoff single from Brody Bellomo in the top-seventh, setting off a three-run inning and taking a win on the road at Seffner Christian. Bellomo would eventually score the deciding run on a wild pitch, and Alex Quintero (RBI single) and Luca Gonzalez (sac fly) salted the game away with insurance runs. Trigg Listerman allowed one earned in four innings, but it was three no-hit relief innings and six Ks from Will Snider that earned the win. Jenuel Ortiz singled, stole second and third, before scoring on a throwing error to get the Crusaders on the board first. The Lancers responded with a two-run double from Blake Hafner and another run on an error; only to see SCA tie the game with an RBI double from Kaleb Williams and another run-scoring error.

Julian Earle‘s two’run double in the fifth to tie the game; a sac fly from Ashton Brown gave CDS the lead; and Steven Vargo was 3-for-4 with an RBI double to put the game out of reach.

Wharton’s four-run fifth inning led by a two-run RBI double by Braden Bodenstein, an RBI single by Antonio Fawcett and a run-scoring single by Drew Cobb was just enough to hold off Armwood’s comeback attempt. Connor Evans struck out eight before two errors allowed all three Hawks runs in the fifth; Jaylen Martin was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Connor Shore picked up the save, recording three strikeouts over the final 2 1/3 innings. Brady Green had two hits and a run scored for Armwood.

Tampa Bay Tech 11
Chamberlain 9
A four-run sixth inning started by hits from Chris Rojo (2-for-5, two runs) and Luke Jones (two runs, RBI) and made damaging by a bases-loaded HBP and a trio of runs on a passed ball pushed TBT out far enough to win on the road at Chamberlain. Michael Gibson limited the Storm to one earned run in his three innings of relief and had six strikeouts in a winning effort. Chamberlain got the winning run to the plate in the seventh, but couldn’t draw the game any closer despite having 16 hits – including a 3-for-5 night from Jaden Hyde (HR, 2 RBI), a 3-for-4 game from Xavier Ether (2B, run, RBI), and a 3-for-4 game by Trey Sharpe (2B, 2 R, 2 RBI).
