GAME ONE: Macomb 6, Schoolcraft 4
Dominic Miller battled through four innings to pick up his second win of the year and Jack Saputo shut the door late with a six-out save, his fifth of the season, to secure a 6-4 game one victory. Brendan Przybycki worked an efficient inning for the hold after Miller's day was done with 12 outs recorded (six via strikeout).

Third inning triples by Matt Hanneman and Dane Richards got the Monarchs on the board as part of a four-run frame, and a fifth-inning RBI double by Luke Babcock brought in the game-winning run. Adrian Epps drove home the insurance run on a 2-out RBI single in the seventh to cap off a balanced victory.

Hanneman and Richards led an eight-hit attack with a triple and two hits each, while Babcock and Dominic Cavacini recorded a double.

GAME TWO: Macomb 10, Henry Ford 3
Derek Neufeld notched his second win of the campaign with four strong innings on the mound, and Evan Robinson did the rest by only allowing one hit across the final three innings of the game in a 10-3 victory.

A Matt Hanneman solo shot, his fifth of the season, got the scoring underway in the second inning and the Monarchs were rolling from there as Luke Babcock hit his third of the campaign an inning later to make it a 2-0 game.

The pair of big blasts jump-started a 10-run outburst that featured a total of eight extra-base hits as Nicholas Sandiha Jr. tripled, Nathan Fidelino hit two doubles, and Dominic Cavacini, Vincent Cowdrey and Adrian Epps all hit a double each.

Sandiha also hit two sacrifice flies in the 10-3 win and Dane Richards led all Monarchs with three hits.
