Hero's greeting...Tipp's Cayden McKinney (above, right) is rushed by his teammates following his 2 RBI-single that drove in the tying and winning runs in the bottom of the seventh Wednesday, delivering a 3-2 win over Troy.

What was more perfect than the crystal blue sky at the Dayton Dragons' Day-Air Ballpark? Butler's record, now 10-0 after a 5-4 win over Troy. Koby Dues crushed a triple, then scored the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, his third of the game.

Sidney entered tournament play as a No. 1 seed in Division II, but Miamisburg had bigger ideas and big man in the middle the Yellow Jackets couldn't stop.

The Troy Trojans had a comeback in them, led by Bryce Haught and aggressive defense, but they still couldn't quite find a way to earn a tournament victory.

In a game of steep ups and downs, Tippecanoe owned the last “up,” a 7-0 closing run to claim sole possession of the MVL title. Tipp held Butler scoreless for the final 2:45 of the game.
