Blissfield/MI Post 325 10, Sluggers Select/Smith 7 - PBR
*v Blissfield/325: 10-9-1; SP Brayden Hine (2/3ip, 5R/5er, 4H, 2BB, 1-HBP); P2 Jake Saunders (4.1ip, 2R/2er, 6H, 3BB, 5K); P3 Cam Cole (1ip, 0R); 2H (Kenyon Miller 3; Gunner Carson; Brennan Runyon 3); 2RBI (Justin Diaz; G Carson 4; B Runyon); HR (Brennan Runyon; Gunner Carson); 3B (G Carson); 2B (K Miller 2; B Runyon);

*Jim's eyeball: The Sluggers scored 5 runs in the first, adding single runs in the 2nd and 4th. Starting Slugger pitcher McGavin had Blissfield off balance until the 5th inning when Carson and Runyon hit back-to-back home runs to bring Blissfield within one run (7-6). Blissfield reliever Saunders worked thru four and a third innings (2 runs) and got the win as Blissfield scored four times in the top of sixth of off Slugger reliever Dock. Cole pitched a scoreless sixth for Blissfield to end the game (time limit).
