A four-run fifth inning sealed a 7-2 victory for Washington, D.C. (Capitol City), over Pennsylvania (Keystone) on Monday.
Leading 3-2, the team from the nation's capital put the game out of reach in an explosive bottom of the fifth, as Sean Quinn scored on a wild pitch and Henry Smith ripped a three-run double.

Kentucky Beats Ohio, 11-1
Offense wasn't a problem for Kentucky (Bowling Green Eastern) as it dropped 11 runs on Ohio (West Side) in a comprehensive victory.
Kentucky opened the scoring early with a solo home run by Devin Obee and a run-scoring fielder's choice from Carson Myers in the first inning. The team didn't let up over the next two innings, either.
It's not as if Kentucky needed much support given how much it got from the combination of Myers, Obee and Isaiah Head on the mound. The three allowed one earned run on four hits and struck out nine Ohio batters.
Nebraska Beats Kansas, 6-0
Brett Mahony tossed a gem on the mound, and Korben Rich came in to shut the door as Nebraska (Kearney) shut out Kansas (Frontenac), 6-0.
Mahony nearly went the distance, pitching 5.1 innings. He surrendered just one hit and zero walks while striking out eight Kansas batters. Mahony also played a starring role at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Kaden Miller also had a good day offensively. He finished 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored.
Mahony didn't need a lot of support Monday, but his teammates did more than enough to supplement their ace.
Massachusetts Beats New Hampshire, 10-0
A shaky outing on the mound for Dylan Dufour got New Hampshire (Bedford) off to a bad start, and that was all the opening Massachusetts (Wellesley South) needed en route to a comfortably 10-0 win.
Massachusetts knocked Dufour out after two-plus innings. He gave up four runs on four hits.
The bulk of Massachusetts' offensive output came in the bottom of the third inning. The five-run frame broke the game open and gave the team a nearly unassailable 7-0 lead. Massachusetts tacked on three more runs over the next two innings for good measure.
David Blair was responsible for nearly a third of Massachusetts' runs. He went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored. No. 9 hitter Matt Beyer also chipped in with two hits and a run batted in.
Tennessee Beats West Virginia, 5-4
A two-run fifth inning propelled Tennessee (Goodlettsville Baseball) to a 5-4 win Monday over West Virginia (Bridgeport).
West Virginia scored twice in the top half of the inning on the strength of a two-run homer by Christopher Harbert to take a 4-3 lead. Tennessee responded in kind in the bottom half, and Zach McWilliams scored the winning run on a fielder's choice off the bat of Brock Duffer.
Give credit to Robert Carroll, who pitched the final two innings. He could've come unglued following Harbert's home run. Instead, he quickly recovered and got out of the fifth without suffering more damage. Then he shut the door in the sixth to preserve the win.
Louisiana Beats Mississippi, 2-1
It was the rare walk-off hit by pitch as Louisiana (South Lake Charles) picked up a 2-1 win over Mississippi (Starkville).
Grant Comeaux singled to lead off the bottom of the sixth. Then, Donovan LaSalle reached on an error, and Colby Allen walked Jake LaRocca to load the bases. On the second pitch of the at-bat, Allen hit Ashton Fuselier to bring home pinch runner Dylan Thibodeaux to end the game.
It was a tough result for Allen, who had pitched the entire game to that point. He may have stayed out too long, though, and it cost Mississippi a possible victory.
While Allen deserves a share of the blame, his offense didn't provide much help, particularly after Gage Coffman entered the game. In 3.2 innings, Coffman struck out 10 batters and walked none. He also allowed just one hit and zero runs.
New Mexico Beats Texas-West, 9-6
Texas-West (McAllister Park American) mustered a late offensive surge, but it wasn't enough to get past New Mexico (Eastdale).
New Mexico scored five times in the top of the fifth to turn a one-run lead, 4-3, to a six-run lead, 9-3. Texas-West put together three runs in the fifth and sixth innings, but it was too little, too late.
Five different New Mexico batters registered two hits, and the team as a whole collected 14 hits, far outpacing Texas-West, which could only get three hits.
Ethan Krebs provided much of the offense, driving in four runs and going 2-for-4. His two-run home run in the second inning got New Mexico started on the comeback trail. He made it a 3-2 game in favor of Texas-West, but that lead wouldn't last much longer.
Southern California Beats Arizona, 7-4
A four-run fifth inning was the difference as Southern California (Park View) toppled Arizona (Cactus Foothills South) by a score of 7-4.
JonLuke Hobdy and Lucas Marrujo did an excellent job of damage control after Daniel Leon gave up four runs—three of which were earned—in the first three innings. Hobdy and Marrujo went the final three innings, combining to allow five hits and strike out three batters.
Arizona lost despite the best efforts of Luke Newman, who went 4-for-4 out of the leadoff spot with two runs scored.
On the other side, Marrujo was 3-for-4 with an RBI, while Leon made up for his tough day on the mound by going 2-for-2 at the plate.
Washington Beats Oregon, 8-2
Oregon (Bend North) was its own worst enemy as it fell 8-2 to Washington (Lynnwood Pacific).
Six different pitchers toed the rubber for Oregon. While that sextet only combined to surrender three hits, they also walked 10 batters. Blaine Causey was responsible for half of those 10 walks; he put Oregon at a distinct disadvantage early on after giving up seven runs in 1.1 innings pitched.
On the other side, pitching wasn't an issue at all for Washington, with Kam Jordan going the first five innings. He struck out 11 batters and allowed three hits and one earned run.
Jacob Gabler and Maddox Stojkovic accounted for the majority of the Washington offense. Gabler went 1-for-3 with three RBI, while Stojkovic was 1-for-1 and drove in two runs of his own.
