Game One
The Eagles got things going early as Dezmond Cordova led off the first inning with a homerun to left field. Nicholas Jones hit a RBI single and then Skylar Morrison hit a 2-run homer to dead center to give the Eagles a 4-0 lead. They added three more runs in the second when Jarron Brantley hit a homerun right field, Dylan Creech hit a RBI single, and Parker Jeffries was walked with the bases loaded. Jacob Watkins made it an 8-0 game in the fifth with a RBI single, and then Morrison hit a 2 RBI single in the sixth to make it 10-0 Eagles.

It was all Central Baptist to start the game as they scored a run in the first, five runs in the second, a run in the third, a run in the fourth, and three runs in the fifth to take a 11-0 lead. Williams got two runs back in the fifth when Brantley reached on an error that scored Cordova and then Luis Febres hit a RBI single to score Brantley. The Mustangs plated four more runs in the sixth and two runs in the seventh to lead 17-2.
