Armwood 2
Brandon 1
Armwood sophomore Inri Beltre edged Brandon in a pitcher’s duel, allowing one unearned run on six hits and two walks, while striking out five, while the Eagles sent Robert Elder to the mound for six strong innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk, with six strikeouts. Both teams got on the board in the fourth, Brandon making a leadoff error hurt when Francis Ovalles flied a triple to right field; but the Hawks would answer in the home-half with Elijah Battiste (2-for-3) singling to short, scoring on a single to right by Christopher Lovett III to tie the game, and Demetrius Baker Jr. sending a hit up the middle to plate the decider two batters later. David Ruiz was 3-for-4 for the Eagles.

Steinbrenner 9
Robinson 8
Steinbrenner junior Coby Moesching moved to the mound after a wild pitch put Robinson up two runs in the sixth inning, and struck out a pair with runners in scoring position and finished off the game as the Warriors rallied for a win. An error and a walk put two Warriors aboard in the home-sixth and an RBI sac fly by Chase Petker and a productive out from Gabe Ortiz tied the game and after a 1-2-3 inning from Moesching, Evan Juan played hero with a walk-off single into left field. Gavin Mix was 2-for-3 for the Warriors with an RBI and two runs scored; Cason Cooper was 2-for-4 for the Knights with a run and two RBI; and Rhyder Robinson was 2-for-3 with a run scored in the loss.

An RBI infield single by Luc Thornton gave the Terrapins the lead in the fifth and Sallis scored an insurance run on a double-steal.
