Game 1

Seniors 11 Northstars 8 

The Seniors earned a hard-fought victory over the Northstars in a high-scoring and competitive matchup that featured strong offensive bursts from both teams. The Northstars jumped out to an early advantage in the top of the first inning, highlighted by a Todd Smart single that brought in two runs and helped build a 3–0 lead. Despite the early deficit, the Seniors gradually responded at the plate, keeping pace as runs were traded throughout the game. The turning point came in the fifth inning when the Seniors erupted for four runs, delivering the decisive blow that swung momentum firmly in their favor. From there, John Enright took control late in the game, shutting down the Northstars’ offense and preserving the lead to secure the win for the Seniors.

Game 2 

Brewers 3 Golden Gloves 1 In a tightly contested fastball game, the Brewers defeated the Golden Gloves 3–1 in a matchup defined by strong pitching and solid defense. Both teams struggled to generate offense early as the pitchers controlled the game and kept scoring chances to a minimum. The breakthrough came when Brendan Hennessy delivered a clutch double off Blake Bramburger, driving in two runs and giving the Brewers a crucial lead. The Golden Gloves threatened to respond later in the game with runners on base, but the Brewers came up with a huge defensive play when Jordan Laronde turned an inning-ending double play to stop the rally and keep the runners from scoring. The Brewers continued to rely on their pitching and defense to protect their advantage, limiting the Golden Gloves' opportunities the rest of the way. Hennessy’s timely hit and Laronde’s key defensive effort proved to be the difference as the Brewers earned a hard-fought 3–1 victory in an exciting pitching duel.
