#1 First Colonial 3, #2 Cox 2
WP: Nic Morlang (4-0)
Morlang earned the win, striking out seven over five innings. Cade Howlett pitched the last two innings to secure the save. Wes Stubbe led the top-ranked Patriots at the plate with two hits and two RBIs. Graydon Ambrose added an RBI single.
#4 Hampton 1, Menchville 0
No. 4 Hampton ran its unbeaten string to start the season to 14 games with a 1-0 win over Menchville in eight innings in a Peninsula District game. Jacoby Flores drove in the game-winning run with a two-out sacrifice fly to right field in the bottom of the eighth for his 22nd RBI of the season.
CJ Williams led off the eighth for the Crabbers (14-0, 13-0 district) by reaching on a two-base error — the first of the game by the Monarchs (9-5, 8-5). He advanced to third base on a sacrifice bunt by Nate Peek, before Flores’ flyout that was likely deep enough to score the run. Menchville’s right fielder dropped the ball as he transferred it from his glove and Williams scored easily.
Both starters pitched 7 1/3 innings and were good. The Crabbers’ Toby Weymouth allowed six hits, struck out three and walked only one, while the Monarchs’ Luke Woodard allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked four.
