Ozark, Missouri: The seventh seeded Patriots kept rolling as they won the winner's bracket semifinal 5-0 over the University of Ft. Lauderdale Eagles.  The game was resumed from the previous night when play was suspended due to heavy storms.  When play was suspended the Patriots were in front 1-0 after two and a half innings with Jude Tenny pitching.  Mission scored in the bottom of the first inning to take the lead.  With one out, Trey Mulholland singled up the middle.  Brennan Montgomery followed with a single down the right field line, moving Mulholland to third.  Sam Golden drove in Mulholland with a single through the right side.  When play resumed at 9 am this morning, the Pats plated two runs in the bottom of the third inning.  Montgomery led off with a base on balls.  Golden moved him to third when he drove the ball to left field for a double.  Dylan Blehm was then plunked by a pitch to load the bases.  Carter Vienhage hit a ball to the third baseman, who had no other play than to go to first for the putout, scoring Montgomery.  A second Patriot out occurred next.  The second run in the inning took place next when C.J. Miser had an infield single to third base to force in Golden, 3-0 MU.  When the Patriots took the field for the top of the fourth inning, Garrett Hunter took the mound.  Hunter pitched three and two thirds innings of three hit ball, allowing no Eagles to score.  The Patriots, in the meantime, scored a fourth run in the bottom of the sixth inning.  Tate Wheeler drew a leadoff walk.  Landon Richards was hit by a pitch making it first and second with no one out.  The Eagles made a pitching change and Mulholland promptly broke in the new pitcher by singling to left field to score Wheeler.  In the top of the seventh, Ft. Lauderdale began a two-out rally using a walk and a single.  Hunter was then relieved by Ryan Congemo, who struck out the next Eagle batter to end the inning.  The Pats added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead 5-0.  C.J. Miser singled to left field to begin the inning.  Kyle Langford came in to courtesy run for Miser.  After the Patriots made an out, Langford stole second base to get into scoring position.  Richards grounded out to the right side allowing Langford to reach third base.  Mulholland's double to left field easily scored Langford.  Despite giving up a leadoff walk to UFL, the Eagles were not able to score as Congemo shut them down.

In the second game, the Patriots were playing in the winner's bracket final against the Jessup University Warriors.  Josh Buxton was on the mound for MU and was hoping for a better outing than his last.  His team needed him, and he delivered.  Buxton scattered six hits over seven innings and left the game after seven innings with a commanding 6-0 advantage.  The Patriots scored in the first two innings to set the tone.  In the bottom of the first inning, Trey Mulholland doubled to center field with one out.  Brennan Montgomery grounded out to the first baseman, which allowed Mulholland to reach third.  Sam Golden followed with a single through the left side for the 1-0 lead.  In the bottom of the second inning, the Patriots added two more tallies.  With one out recorded by the Warriors, Grant Merryman ripped the ball to right center for a triple.  C.J. Miser then singled Merryman home with a hit to right field.  Landon Parker came in as a courtesy runner for Miser.  The Warriors recorded a second Patriot out, but Parker was able to move into scoring position at second base.  Landon Richards followed with a single to left center which scored Parker.  The Warriors put up a bit of a rally in the top of the third inning with two singles and a walk, but Buxton and the defense kept them scoreless.  MU would add two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.  Richards began the inning with a base on balls.  Mulholland would then launch a bomb to right center, up over the fence for a two run homer.  Jessup, trailing 5-0, began the seventh inning with a single to right center, but Buxton would get the next batter to hit into a 5-4-3 double play.  In the bottom of the seventh inning, the warriors tried another pitcher and Richards greeted him with a home run to right center for a 6-0 lead.  Mulholland would relieve Buxton to begin the eighth inning and allow only an infield single to third.  An inning later, Mulholland set the Warriors down in order to finish the shutout.
