Hillsdale (17-28) led off the game with two singles sandwiched around a stolen base to produce the game's first run.  The Chargers added four unearned runs in the third inning, taking advantage of two Lourdes errors, to build a 5-0 lead.
 
Lucas Hamelink allowed just one Gray Wolf hit through six innings on his way to the win (3-5), striking out six batters.  Lourdes had just one hit entering the ninth when Zak Laubscher (Twinsburg, Ohio/Twinsburg H.S.) doubled to lead off the inning.  Garrett Jex (Bowling Green, Ohio/Bowling Green H.S.) followed with a RBI single.  Nick Toth (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson H.S.) drove home the final run with a RBI groundout.
