Mason defeats Troy at this stage of the tournament for the second straight year. And the Trojans, who surpassed expectations by making it this far, will long remember that it was Jake Hanley who they couldn't hit and who swung a powerful bat. Caleb Akins (pictured) battled through his pet peeve of five walks and struck out seven against Mason's powerful lineup.

In another example of culture versus the lack of priority, Tipp cruised to its 14th win of the season over Stebbins, standing now 8-4 in MVL Miami Division. Read about it in Tuesday's Press Pros.

After a sloppy start, Piqua and Mickey Anderson (above) hammered the baseball, scored four runs in the fourth, one in the fifth, and put Greenville away with eight more in the sixth to stay unbeaten in MVL play. Read more.

Vandalia Butler showed pitching (Hunter Richardson, above) and the ability to break through late, handing Troy a 9-0 loss Tuesday. Read about it in Wednesday's Press Pros.
