The Class 2A No. 9 Trailblazers beat county opponent Guerin Catholic 6-4 in the semi-finals to advance to the championship game, where they stunned the host and 3A No. 3 Tigers 7-0 thanks to an incredible pitching performance by Matt Moore.

Seth Hogg scored in the sixth inning on an error. The ‘Blazers then added three runs in the seventh, with Morse hitting a triple to score Luke Hellman and Galyean, then Morse went home on Moore’s sacrifice fly.
Oxley was 3-for-4 at the plate and Galyean hit a double. Moore pitched six innings, striking out 12 and allowing only one hit. Galyean came in for the seventh inning and struck out the side.
In its first game, University went up 4-0 after two innings and was able to maintain that advantage during the game. Hellman had two hits, while Jake Hooker hit a triple and drove in two runs. Grayson Knight got the win, striking out six in five innings, while Oxley pitched the last two innings and recorded the save, with five strikeouts.
Will Fremion and Davis Wagner both had two hits for the Golden Eagles, with Clay Patton hitting a triple. Anthony Ferrucci and Aidan Morse each hit one double.
Guerin Catholic dropped the consolation game to Speedway 7-3. Patton, Braden Reel, Morse and Ferrucci all had two hits, with Morse hitting a double.
