In Game One, the Pilots' offense exploded for 18 runs on 17 hits in an 18-2 rout. Josh Gibson, Austin Gomm, Vantrel Reed, Bula White, Ian Montz, Jose Sallorin, and Diego Aragon each recorded doubles, while Montz and DJ Walker led the way in the RBI column. Walker drove in four runs on a 3-for-5 day, while Montz plated three.
The Pilots struck first in the opening frame when Reed reached on a fielder's choice to score Gibson. Montz followed with a two-run single to push the early lead to 3-0 before Walker's RBI single made it 4-0. After Jarvis Christian got two unearned runs in the second, LSUS pulled away for good. White doubled home Reed in the third to extend the lead to 5-2.
The fifth inning proved disastrous for the Bulldogs as the Pilots poured on eight runs, highlighted by a two-run double from Aragon, a bunt RBI single by Ryan Davenport, and a two-RBI double from Gibson. Reed added a groundout RBI, and LSUS finished the inning up 13-2. Errors by the Bulldogs helped LSUS tack on two more unearned runs in the sixth. Montz's RBI double and Walker's two-run single in the seventh capped the scoring.
On the mound, Isaac Rohde improved to 12-0, tossing six strong innings while allowing just three hits and two unearned runs, striking out five. Jarvis Christian's Alejandro Gonzalez Moreno (3-6) suffered the loss, giving up 14 hits and 14 runs (12 earned) across six innings despite fanning five.
In Game Two, LSUS stayed hot at the plate and got a masterclass from starting pitcher Cobe Reeves in a 10-0 shutout victory. Reeves (13-0) dominated, striking out 11 over seven innings while allowing just two hits and one walk.
Anthony Swenda set the tone early with a two-run homer in the first inning. The Pilots added on in the fifth when Gibson lifted a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Sallorin. Angel Rodriguez delivered a sac fly in the sixth, and Sallorin added an RBI single to push the lead to 5-0.
In the seventh, Gomm's sac fly made it 6-0, and LSUS put the game out of reach with a four-run ninth inning. Montz singled through the right side to bring home Swenda, Rodriguez added an RBI single, Sallorin brought in another run with a sacrifice fly, and Anderson Acinger capped the scoring with an RBI single up the middle.
Jarvis Christian was limited to just three hits between Eric Alonzo, Jacob Dominguez, and Jaylon Cotton. Bulldogs starter Gio Lai (1-5) took the loss, allowing six runs on 12 hits over seven innings.
