Mary Persons 3, Wesleyan 2; Mary Persons 14, Wesleyan 7
The Bulldogs racked up a second straight sweep with extreme wins. Tristan Hunt and Brady Christman singled to open up the bottom of the fifth, and Hunt stole home to put the Bulldogs (23-12) up by 1 in the opener. Cole Carr and Hunt teamed to keep Wesleyan at bay the final two innings, ending the game on a pickoff. Nic Arnold had two hits for the Bulldogs. Wesleyan led 5-2 through 5 in the nightcap, only for Mary Persons to explode for 10 runs in the sixth. The Bulldogs tied it after a double by Gore, a single by Caden Taylor after a run-scoring passed ball. Christman’s single put the Bulldogs up for good. Hunt, Christman, and Ian Lewis each had 3 hits, and Gore drove in 4 runs.

FPD 4, George Walton 1
A 3-run first put the Vikings in control, and pitcher Brady McHugh kept them there, with a 6-strikeout, 1-walk 5-hit complete game. FPD (22-5-1) pieced together the early runs on an error, two singles, a wild pitch, walk, and sacrifice fly.
