Queen Creek held off a late rally by No. 9 seed Basha on Friday in Mesa, taking a 6-5 victory. Lucas Ferreira earned the win while Drew Abbott nailed down the save. The Bulldogs scored three runs in the fourth inning to take a 5-2 lead and added what proved to be a key insurance run in the fifth before the Bears struck back for three in the sixth.
Cody Stoller tossed a five-hit complete game to lead O’Connor past Brophy Prep in the rematch on Friday, striking out five in the three-run victory.
