Midget Division

Sox 10 – Braves 9 ... In a seesaw battle Wednesday, the Sox (7–4) hung on to beat a hungry Braves team (0–11). Colby Shearer of the Sox hit a two-run round-tripper which turned out to be the difference in the game. Braves slugger Christian Correale was hard on the Sox’s pitching staff with three homeruns and five RBIs.

Orioles 10 – Cubs 6 ... Baily Herrold and Casey Seeds hit back-to-back home runs Thursday to lead the Orioles (5–7) to a win over the Cubs (5–6). Oriole pitcher Christian Fox-Klein picked up the victory by allowing only one run during the last two innings. In the field for the O's, Nick Heimbach made an outstanding catch in the last inning to assist in the win. Jordan Hatcher was the star for the Cubs with a single, two doubles and a triple.

Tigers 5 - Sox 4 ... In a game where you hate to see anyone lose, Gary Smith of the Sox (7–5) and Aaron Gress of the Tigers (12–0) hooked up in a pitcher's duel Friday at Koons Park. The Tigers scored two runs in the fourth inning, and three in the fifth on a three-run homer by Austin Barowski. However, in the sixth inning, the Sox came back with four runs, including William Zeigler's three-run blast over the fence. Both teams played a great game.

Rams 12 – Colts 9 ... Gavin Hoffman of the Rams (2–9) gave up only one hit in three innings to lead his team to a hard-fought victory Friday evening. At the plate for the Rams, Tyler Hall had three solid hits and Nate Kindt had a key hit. Cole Moyer of the Colts (3–8) smashed his first homerun of the season.
