In 18U:

#5 Tennessee Mojo-Ramsey/Fisher rallied from a three-run deficit twice and picked up a 10-9 win in two international tiebreakers over Rock Gold-Manetta, the defending PGF national champion.

Florida State-bound OF/SS/3B Addie DeLong went 3 for 5, 2026 SS Luna Taboas went 3 for 4, East Carolina-bound C/OF Jenna Kroll went 2 for 4 with a double and two RBIs, uncommitted 2025 C/1B Danika Spinogatti hit a three-run homer in ITB and Oklahoma-bound LHP Audrey Lowry and Oklahoma-committed 2025 P Berkley Zache combined for 14 Ks in 10 innings to lead Mojo-Ramsey/Fisher.

Clemson-bound 1B/OF Sam Minish hit two homers and drove in four runs to propel Mojo-Ramsey/Fisher past #11 Firecrackers Select-Rico/Brashear, 7-3, in the second game. Stanford-committed 2025 OF/MIF Adriana Callahan and Zache also homered.

“To be completely honest, I didn’t have a great first game at the plate,” Minish said. “I was going into my second game with not a ton of confidence, but I told myself that it was a new game. My approach the second game was to simply see ball, hit ball. I got into the box and tried to get comfortable.

“My first at-bat, I hit a home run, so I was looking for an offspeed my second at-bat because I was sure they wanted to try and catch me off balance. They came at me with an offspeed, which I was looking for, so I tried my best to sit back and drive the ball. I was very happy to be able to pull through for my coaches and teammates. When my confidence is a little low in the box, I try to have the most simple approach, so that’s exactly what I tried to do my second game.” …

#31 Tampa Mustangs-Rene had a huge day with a 12-2 upset over #3 Athletics Mercado-Smith, which won the 18U Patriot Games title last weekend, and rallied to beat #37 EC Bullets Gold-Schnute, 13-10.
