Score: Fletcher 9, Atlantic Coast 8

Opponent: Fletcher Senators
Recap: A hot start from the Senators sparked an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first but the stingrays quickly jumped in front to take a 4-2 lead from the likes of a 2 RBI triple from #8 Chris Gant. Followed by two scoreless innings, both teams shared blows to make it 4-3 heading into the 5th. The Senators would then score 2 runs, capitalizing off of the critical error from the Stingrays as Atlantic Coast would only answer with one run making it 6-6 heading into the 6th. This is when Fletcher would put things into overdrive after 5 hits and 3 RBIs were scored to make their lead 8-6 heading into the final inning. At last, the Stingrays could not out duel the Senators despite the great effort and red-hot game from #3 Noah Prudencio who finished with 3 hits and never got out from the plate.
Score: Mandarin 6, Atlantic Coast 5.

Opponent: Mandarin Mustangs
Recap: Despite the Mustangs trampled over the Stingrays in the first inning, taking a 6-0 lead out of the gate, the Stingrays stung back over the course of the next 3 innings scoring 5 unanswered runs to make the game fervent. As the night dwindled and spectators heckled at each other, the final inning was shut down by the Mustangs and ultimately ending the Stingrays 7 game win streak. Stingray Head Coach Chris Laufman said, "Despite the mistakes and the loss, I am proud at how our guys were resilient and it truly shows how good these men are as people."
