Brady Swanson anchored the nine-hit attack with a stellar 3-for-4 performance, while the rest of the lineup showcased elite speed by swiping six total bases, including multiple steals from Tyler Beaulieu, Sam Abrahamson, and Sam Manchester. On the mound, Hudson’s staff kept the Huskies off balance all afternoon, supported by a flawless, error-free defense that turned a key double play. Mason Bruesewitz took the loss for Eau Claire North, battling through three innings and surrendering one run despite yielding five hits and three walks. While Zach Shipman and Tyler Barrows managed back-to-back hits for the Huskies, they were unable to crack a Raiders defense that remained disciplined from the first pitch to the final out.

The game remained deadlocked until the top of the seventh inning, when Cooper Schaefgen launched a towering two-run home run to right field to give Oconomowoc the definitive lead. Mukwonago had jumped out to an early 2-0 advantage in the first inning following an error and a groundout, but Oconomowoc's pitching and a seventh-inning insurance sacrifice fly from Will McDowell eventually sealed the Indians' fate. Kasyn Nelson earned the win on the mound, tossing six efficient innings while allowing zero earned runs, before Schaefgen returned to the hill to secure the save. Mukwonago's Cooper Graham turned in a strong starting effort, fanning four over five innings, but the Indians' offense struggled to find a breakthrough after the first frame. Isaac Teisl led the Mukwonago lineup with two RBIs, while Schaefgen and Nelson each recorded multi-hit games for Oconomowoc. Despite a late push, Mukwonago could not overcome Oconomowoc's timely hitting in the game's closing moments.

Mason Burrichter dominated on the mound for the Hortonville Polar Bears, tossing a complete game shutout to lead his team to an 8-0 victory over the Appleton East Patriots.

Hortonville showcased excellent plate discipline by drawing eight walks and remained error-free in the field, while Gary Wuest led the team's seven-hit attack with two hits of his own. Appleton East’s Zander Martin took the loss despite striking out six over five innings, as he struggled to navigate a Hortonville lineup that consistently put runners on base. Although Calvin Feucht and Alex Thompson managed to break through for hits, the Patriots were unable to mount a rally against Burrichter’s clinical performance, which was punctuated by a stellar defensive effort behind him.

Damian Kosempa delivered a masterful performance on the mound, racking up 13 strikeouts over five dominant innings to propel the Marquette University Hilltoppers to a 6-0 shutout win over West Allis Hale. The Hilltoppers broke the game open with a five-run fourth inning, utilizing a patient approach that featured RBI walks from Leo Sanders and Ryan Mahn, a sacrifice fly from Brady Potier Brown, and a run-scoring single by Boden McGourthy. Sanders sparked the offense early with an RBI single in the second and finished the day with two runs batted in, while Mahn showed exceptional discipline by drawing three of the team's six walks. Harrison Schwabe provided clean relief to secure the two-hit shutout, effectively stifling a West Allis Hale lineup that managed only two hits from Mason Shore and Coleton Cohen. Despite an error-free defensive effort from West Allis Hale and a five-strikeout start from Joe Godina, the Hilltoppers' explosive fourth inning and Kosempa’s overwhelming presence on the hill proved insurmountable.

Parker Lawson was untouchable on the mound for the Bay Port Pirates, tossing a complete game shutout to secure a 4-0 victory over the Notre Dame Academy Tritons. Cayden Heier provided the offensive spark, going a perfect 2-for-2 at the plate with two RBIs, including a second-inning double that put the Pirates on the board for good. While Notre Dame's Ty Bumgardner kept the game competitive with five strikeouts over four and a third innings, Lawson’s dominance prevented the Tritons from stringing together any significant threats despite hits from Brennan Frelich, Bumgardner, Jackson Bouthilet, and Drew Magnuson.

Despite a solo blast from Colton Wall that briefly gave the Pirates an 8-7 lead in the fifth, Wisconsin Lutheran responded immediately with two runs in the bottom half of the frame to reclaim the advantage for good.

Smith surrendered only five hits and struck out four to earn the win, while Sam Bresina provided a clean final frame to seal the combined shutout. Gavin Thompson ignited the offense early with an RBI single in the first, and the Cardinals' bats remained steady behind multi-hit efforts from leadoff man Dane Krista and additional RBIs from Brandt Olson, Mason Chittendon, and Eli Burmeister. Eau Claire Memorial’s Alex Johnson turned in a gritty performance on the hill, fanning seven over five innings, but received no run support despite the best efforts of Ian Bauer and Aaron Gundlach, who each tallied two hits.

Despite a gritty six-inning start from Austin Adamczewski and aggressive baserunning that netted the Cavaliers four stolen bases, St. Thomas More was unable to solve the Lancers' pitching staff. The Lancers' error-free defensive effort, highlighted by a key double play, ensured the early lead held firm through the final out.
