Game 1 — Spring Hill 16, Morehouse 3

Scoring Summary

Spring Hill came out swinging and grabbed control early, scoring twice in the first and adding another run in the second for a 3-0 lead. Morehouse answered with a run in the bottom of the second when Myles Tucker scored on a wild pitch, then cut the deficit to 5-2 in the fourth when Mariano McLean brought Tucker home with a groundout. But the Badgers kept the pressure on with a pair of solo home runs in the third, a three-run shot in the fifth, and then an eight-run seventh that broke the game open. Morehouse scratched across its final run in the bottom of the seventh on Tripp Braswell's RBI single.

Game 2 — Spring Hill 13, Morehouse 11 (8 innings)

Scoring Summary

The nightcap turned into a wild one. After a scoreless first, Spring Hill struck for five runs in the second, highlighted by Reggie Cooper's three-run homer. Morehouse answered immediately in the bottom half, getting a solo homer from Mariano McLean and a two-run single from Elijah Pinckney to pull within 5-3. The Badgers pushed the lead back out with a two-run homer in the third, two more runs in the fourth, and a two-run homer in the fifth to make it 11-4. The Maroon Tigers got one back on Tripp Braswell's solo shot in the fifth, then exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the seventh. Braswell was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, Myles Tucker ripped a two-run double, Kendyn Fredieu was hit by a pitch to force in another run, Caleb Harley added an RBI single, and Pinckney delivered again with a two-run single to tie the game at 11-11. Spring Hill had the final answer, though, as Jaylen Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth that proved to be the difference.
