A seven-run seventh inning ended Algoma's night against Branch early with a 13-1 win.

The Blaze scored the game's first run, but the Guins tallied three in the next frame thanks in part to RBI from Jack Peterson (Kolberg) and Austen Dart (Kolberg). It would stay that way until the sixth inning when the Guins doubled their advantage with three more runs. Jaden Dillar (Maplewood) delivered the frame's biggest blow with a two-run single that was made worse thanks to an error.

Dillar would drive in two more in the fatal seventh inning for the Guins when he hit a bases-loaded single. After the Guins drew a bases-loaded walk, Dart came through again with his own two-run single before Cam DuPont and Brody Kollath finished the rally with RBI.
