CABOT 6, ROGERS 3

The Panthers took advantage of a Rogers' miscue to score two runs and snap a 3-3 tie, and the Cabot pitchers did the rest to advance to the semifinals. Rogers (17-13) tied the game 3-3 with two runs in the top of the third, but Cabot came right back. The Mountaineers could have been out of the inning without allowing a run, but shortstop Sal Jacobo couldn't field a potential inning-ending double play ball. Zack Slunder gave Cabot the lead with an RBI bloop single, and Kyle Carmack pushed the lead to 5-3 with a sacrifice fly. Blayse Quarnstrom added an RBI single in the fourth for a 6-3 Cabot lead. Senior left-hander Zack Morris, an Arkansas commitment, made that lead stand up with the help of two relievers. Morris worked out of a pair of bases-loaded, nobody-out situations in the fourth and fifth innings unscathed. Morris earned the victory, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) on 5 hits over 5 innings. He struck out four but walked six. Brayden Morse and Zach Graham each followed with a scoreless inning to close out the win. Jackson Olivi went 3 for 4 and scored a run for Cabot, while Slunder and Austin Scritchfield added two hits and an RBI each. Jay Watson went 1 for 2 with a pair of walks, drove in a run and scored twice for Rogers.
