Mama Lupo's Jeremy Jarvis and Tucker Dillon combined their efforts on the mound in their win over Meijer's.

"Tucker Dillon drove in the winning run, but we had a lot of base hits throughout the line up," said Manager Bill Prince of Mama Lupo's.

Roger Dominowski, coach of Meijers had this to say after the game, "Nathan Christie threw a good game while Austin Conger was solid behind the plate with a good double play with bases loaded and he caught a couple kids stealing."

Anderson Pharmacy's Cole Clark threw a two hitter with five strikeouts for their win while Derrek Clyde had four RBI's including a homerun.

Omni Source's Noah Peterson pitched a one-hit 16-strikeout gem against St.Stans. Peterson helped at the plate with a homerun while Blake Herner had two RBI's with a single for Omni Source.

An update of Fridays games, EHLL's Rost Cleaning eliminated Kiwanis Club from the tourney with a 12-6 win with three pitchers, Zavian Stickler, Chanse Meylan, and Trenton Thomson all seeing duty against Kiwanis.

Meylan also contributed at the plate with a triple and three RBI's, Andy Crete matched that production with a pair of doubles.

St. Stans got handcuffed again against a good pitcher when Spencer Reames fired a three hitter for EHLL's Meijers which was good enough for a 9-3 win and sent the SELL team packing. Justin Guinn and Mike Stickler each had three hits for Meijers.

It's all about good sportsmanship as displayed after every game with the "good game" hand slaps.
