Hamilton West 2 Allentown 1
A Colonial Valley Conference meeting between 9-4 Allentown and 15-1 Hamilton West did not disappoint as it all seven innings to decide a winner. West jumped out to a 1-0 in the first inning, but both teams struggled on offense from there until the top of the sixth when Dan Merkel tied the game for Allentown with an RBI single. In the top of the seventh the the Hornets would retake the lead thanks to some clutch hitting from catcher Connor Luckie, who would drive in the game-winning run.
