Kupferschmid, Andrew Carver, David Michael, Mose Hayes and Adkins added hits. Michael had four RBIs, while Adkins had two RBIs.

In championship, Auburn, Rhode Island, defeated Napoleon, Ohio, in a bizarre game.

The game was scheduled for seven innings, but went extra time and Ohio grabbed a 9-6 lead after the top of the 10th.

With two outs in the bottom of the 10th, Rhode Island hit a three-run homer to tie it. As the Rhode Island batter was scoring, a brawl ensued. Tournament director Lance Coz ruled the game should be over and Rhode Island would win, because the tiebreaker goes to the team that last scored.

Coz then made sure the teams separated and got out of town.
