No. 1 Tri-Village 32, No. 2 Fort Loramie 30. This one lived up to the hype. TV took a six-point lead midway through the fourth on two DEEP 3-pointers by Rylee Sagester. The Redskins fought back and nearly won the game on this last-second shot by Carissa Meyer. What a game.

My phone died, but the @champcitykings won in epic fashion. After Mitchell Okuley tied the score at 9 with a solo home run, Lukas Galdoni's sacrifice fly scored Ben Ross from third base to give them a 10-9 victory over Chillicothe and their first-ever division title.
