Tuesday

Aberdeen (11) @ West Virginia (2): BOX SCORE - After a nine-game homestand, the Aberdeen IronBirds opened their three-game road trip with a victory behind a historic night from Anthony Quigley. The Northwest Florida (JUCO) product and Oklahoma commit became the third player from the first-half since 2022 to record six RBI amidst a three-hit night. Josh Skowronski would account for a run for half of Quigley’s six, recording a run on all three Quigley drives. Amidst the IronBirds’ offensive dominance, Michael Orbegozo turned in one of his best performances when he struck out eight batters over six innings allowing just one hit, that came in the form of a solo home run by Sam Miller (400 feet, 104.5-mph EV) to break up the no-hitter.

Williamsport (6) vs Mahoning Valley (3): BOX SCORE - The Crosscutters extended their win streak to five and take sole possession of second place behind seven combined no-hit innings from David Horn Jr. (4 IP, 6 K) and Brendan Sweeney (3 IP, 2 K). Williamsport carried the lead for the whole game following a bases loaded walk in the first and featured RBI-doubles from Brodey Acres and Slaide Burd. For the Scrappers, Tommy Harrison was the offensive spark as he slugged his first home run of the season to right at 408 feet with an exit velocity of 105.7 mph.

State College (7) vs Canada (5): BOX SCORE - Baseball Canada came close to securing its first win of the MLB Draft League International Series, but a late offensive rally from the American-based hosts brought the Spikes to a game within .500. Canada got off to an early start after a single from Elliot Lascelles and back-to-back doubles by Kadym Armitage and Robert Omidi in the first inning. Pitching for Canada, Joseph Pereira struck out nine batters to tie the single-game best of 2026. State College would tie the game at four in the fifth from a 108.6-mph double from CJ Richmond who scored on a Tyree Reed 106-mph single who then scored to tie the game on a Kolt Myers double. Canada would retake the lead in the seventh on a Jalen Jacob RBI single. The 16-year-old’s swing not only brought in the go-ahead run, but it would be the hardest-hit ball of the season across the league at an even 111 mph. In the bottom half of the inning, current Spike and a member of the 2025 Junior National Team, Easton Kitura, would tie the game with a sacrifice fly and a walk in the eighth drawn by Dominic Pellegrin would give the lead to State College. Cale Willson would then come into the game for the Spikes to secure the win for State College’s second consecutive victory.

Trenton (11) vs Mexico (5): BOX SCORE - The Thunder took their 10th victory of the 2026 season behind three multi-hit and multi-RBI performances to overcome Mexico’s early 3-0 lead. Joek Rivera led Trenton with three hits and a home run shy of the cycle along with a stellar play at shortstop to end the third inning. Brett Patten and Austin Lemon also recorded two hits for Trenton with Lemon also driving in two runs. Mexico would take the lead on two occasions, first in the second inning with three runs highlighted by Juan Tinoco’s 100.3 mph single and then in the sixth on a double to left field by Luis Guajardo. In the bottom of the sixth, Trenton would tie the game at five with the bases loaded to set up Cade Climie for a bases-clearing triple to center field, followed up with a three-run seventh to extend the lead to six.

Wednesday

Aberdeen (7) @ West Virginia (6): BOX SCORE - The IronBirds overcame strong starting pitching from the Black Bears and put themselves in position to sweep on Thursday. Collin McKinney kept the Aberdeen bats silent through the first three innings as the Black Bear struck out six and allowed one runner to reach base via a single in the third by Leamsi Montanez. The Arizona product also reached a personal MLB Draft League best in fastball velocity with a 97-mph pitch. For Aberdeen, Austin Puett’s fastest pitch of the night in the seventh registered at 100.1 mph, the 10th fastest in MLB Draft League history. The Reinhardt product became the fourth Draft Leaguer all-time to reach triple digits. Down 3-0 in the fourth, the IronBirds put across four runs highlighted by a two-run single from JT Taylor and single by Bryan Heckelman. West Virginia would answer back in the sixth which featured Dylan Schlaegel’s two-run double to highlight his 2-for-3 day with three RBI and second home run of the season (386 feet, 98.1-mph EV). In the top of the eighth, Montanez would bring in the game-winning run for Aberdeen on a single to right field.

Williamsport (2) vs Mahning Valley (1): BOX SCORE - Pitching was the main attraction in Billtown with clutch hitting from the Crosscutters being the difference. Following three innings from Alex Walsh, the combination of Joseph Webb and Will Bartkoski kept Mahoning Valley hitless as the three combined for 11 strikeouts. For the Scrappers, Ethan Stade put together three scoreless innings with four strikeouts that was followed by seven strikeouts in four innings by David Lally Jr. However, Lally would be the one credited with the loss following an unearned run on a Maddix Dalena single in the fifth and Kyle Schupmann delivering the game-winning run on his first home run of the season 356 feet to left with an exit velocity of 100.1 mph.

State College (8) vs Canada (5): BOX SCORE - The Spikes overcame early Canadian offense again to extend their winning streak to three. Jacob Croxford would be the leader at the plate for State College with a 2-for-3 day with three RBI which included the game-tying two-run double in the fourth, followed by a Ty Hamilton single for the go-ahead score. Elliot Lascelles led the Baseball Canada Junior National team with two hits, including a triple and two RBI. Canada native and Spikes relief pitcher, Parker Burgess, was the only pitcher in the game to not allow a hit or walk in 2.2 innings of work with three strikeouts. Credited with the win, he was followed by Garrett Shearer who went 3.1 innings for the save with a game-leading six strikeouts.

Trenton (6) vs Mexico (5): BOX SCORE - Joek Rivera continued to be the spark for Trenton on offense and defense as they held their lead in the standings to three games. Out of the New Mexico Military Institute, Rivera followed up his three-hit, homer shy of the cycle night by connecting on his first home run of the season (352 feet, 101.5-mph EV) and another multi-hit performance. Extending his hit streak to five games, the 20-year-old has been eight for his last 15 with five runs and stolen bases, three extra-base hits and RBI. For Mexico, Leonardo Delgado put together clutch at bats with a walk to bring in the go-ahead run in the third and doubled to tie the game at five in the fifth. The 18-year-old was the game’s co-leader with Rivera having two RBI. After the fifth though, Trenton held Mexico hitless through the final four innings led by Luc Rising who struck out two to secure the save.

Thursday

West Virginia (4) vs Aberdeen (3): BOX SCORE - The Black Bears avoided being swept at home thanks to the offensive production of Kahanu Martinez and lockdown final at bat from Jake Kramer. Martinez, an Oregon commit, gave West Virginia a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth with a three-run home run to left center (362 feet, 101.7-mph EV) for his first of the season. He would also be the Black Bears’ fourth and deciding run in the eighth, scoring on a ground-rule double from Walker Barron. On the mound, Victor Christal, a member of the historic Johnson County CC program and Kansas State commit, made his first Draft League start featuring three innings and six strikeouts. In the ninth, the IronBirds sparked a small rally to make it a one-run game, however a call to Kramer with two outs and runners on the corners resulted in a strikeout to end the game.

Williamsport (8) vs Mahoning Valley (1): BOX SCORE - The Crosscutters extended their win streak to seven games, tying the longest of the season across the league to complete the home sweep. Brett Antolick made his second start of the summer, lasting four innings with five strikeouts and saw his splitter spin down to 760 rpm. On offense, Williamsport had two three-hit performances from Kyle Schupmann and Owen Prince. Schupmann, following his go-ahead home run on Wednesday, kept the power and run production going with a double, two RBI and two runs. Following the game, the Illinois product ranked first in the league in runs (15) and stolen bases (11) and second in batting average (.421), on-base percentage (.566) and OPS (1.145). For the Scrappers, Tommy Harrison contributed to the one run after a leadoff double (106.6-mph EV) in the fifth and coming around to score three batters later.

State College (11) vs Canada (8): BOX SCORE - State College completed the sweep, extending its win streak to four games, advancing to above .500 in the standings. Max Hamilton led the way out of the bullpen for the Spikes with 3 1/3 scoreless innings of relief where the 18-year-old struck out eight batters. On offense, Kolt Myers drove in a game-leading three runs, including the game-winning runs in the sixth and Andrew Wiggins, Mac Rose, Roy Roseman and Trent Turner each having two RBI. Turner would deliver his via his first home run of the summer in the bottom of the fifth that travelled 418 feet to center with a 101.8-mph exit velocity. For Canada, Jalen Jacob delivered his first home run of the International Series to drive in three runs in the first inning with a 409-foot blast to center 98.3 mph off the bat.

Trenton (20) vs Mexico (1) - F/8: BOX SCORE - The Thunder plated across the most runs in a game this season to start the week with a home sweep. Dominic Longo II recorded six RBIs in the game with three runs, including a grand slam in the seventh (367 feet, 107-mph EV) to bring across run number 20.

The middle infielder finished the series hitting .750 with an OPS of 2.119, driving in four with four extra-base hits. Aidan Paradine opened up the game in the third with a solo home run 410 feet to center with an exit velocity of 102.8 mph.

Friday

State College (9) vs Trenton (7): BOX SCORE - Scoring came early and often in the series opener as the two teams went back-and-forth, down to the wire. Trenton would take a 2-0 lead in the top of the first but Camden Ross quickly evened the score in the bottom half, scoring a pair on an RBI double before taking the lead on a Kolt Myers sacrifice fly. After a sacrifice fly in his first at-bat, Augie Lopez, a catcher out of the University of Southern California, blasted a two-run shot in his first MLB Draft League game to put the Thunder ahead. The Spikes struck back with RBI triples in the third and fourth from Myers and Dominic Pellegrin to jump ahead 5-4. Jordan Thomas got into the RBI triple action for Trenton, grabbing one of his own in sixth to cut the deficit to one. The Spikes would regain a three-run lead in their half of the sixth and held things down from there. Parker Loew made it a one-run game in the eighth with a two-run blast but Cale Willson was able to close things out for the Spikes in the ninth, picking up his league-leading fourth save. Kyler Heyne was the winning pitcher, working 2.1 scoreless innings on just one hit while striking out four.

Williamsport (2) vs Aberdeen (1): BOX SCORE - Both starting pitchers quickly set the tone in game one of the series as they combined to allow just two hits in the first three innings. Jui-Chieh Lin was dominant from the jump for Aberdeen, retiring the first seven batters he faced. Lin went five innings surrendering no runs on one hit while striking out seven. Enger Paulino racked up six strikeouts of his own, allowing just one run on three hits over four innings of work. Hollis Porter was the only hitter to get to the two starting pitchers, blasting a mammoth home run in the second inning that travelled 449 feet. The next run wouldn’t come until the seventh inning when Brodey Acres tied things up for Williamsport with an RBI single. In a game that had just nine hits, the final one proved to be the winner with KJ White Jr’s ninth-inning RBI single put the Cutters ahead 2-1. Jacob Limas held the IronBirds scoreless in the seventh and eighth, earning the win, before Dallis Moran secured his second save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

West Virginia (10) vs Mexico (0): BOX SCORE - It was all Black Bears in the series opener but despite the score, it was a highly competitive pitchers duel with both starters going five innings apiece. West Virginia’s Tazwell Butler got the better of the two as he didn’t surrender a run, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out nine for the second time this summer. Jesus Rodriguez got the start for Mexico and allowed one run on five hits, two walks and struck out three. Kahanu Martinez got the scoring started with a third inning RBI single and drove in another two in the sixth with another RBI single. Adding to the 4-0 lead, Owen Henne tallied his first extra-base hit of the summer with an RBI triple. Luke Matthews put the cherry on top for Black Bears fans with an inside-the-park grand slam in the seventh, putting West Virginia up 10-0. Picking up where Butler left off, Trenton Lape was superb out of the bullpen, pitching a scoreless final four frames on two hits and two walks while striking out six. Offensively, Leonardo Delgado led the way for Mexico, picking up two of their three hits including his second double of the International Series.

Mahoning Valley (12) vs Canada (3): BOX SCORE - Mahoning Valley took a strangle hold early on, scoring multiple runs in each of the first three innings to take the series opener against Canada. Back-to-back two out singles in the first brought Tristan Strickland to the plate where he blasted his first home run of the summer. Ethan Lindor provided the runs in the second inning, driving in a pair with a two-run single. Elliot Lascelles got Canada on the board in the third with an RBI single, his first of three hits on the night. The runs kept coming as Lindor drove in another with a double and Nick Williams did so with a triple. Tommy Harrison capped things off with a three-run blast in the sixth, his second of the summer. A strong night from the Scrappers bullpen held things down from there, starting with Danny Heintz who picked up the win. Heintz allowed just one hit in his two innings and struck out three. Chris Billingsley earned the save, allowing just one run over the final three frames on one hit and one walk. For Canada, Noah Powell and Ramsey Chung each pitched a clean inning to end the night.

Saturday

State College (5) vs Trenton (2): BOX SCORE - Behind a solid performance from the pitching core and timely hits, the Spikes reeled off their sixth straight win on Saturday night. Chase Meyer got the start for State College and was as advertised, pitching a pair of clean innings with three strikeouts. Trenton’s leadoff man Brett Patten opened the scoring in the third with his second triple of the summer. CJ Richmond responded in the bottom of the fourth, sending a two-run blast to 409 feet at 103.7 mph to put the Spikes ahead 2-1. The big knock for the Spikes in the sixth as Justin Journette singled with the bases loaded to score all three with two RBI and one error. Cade Climie’s RBI double in seventh brought the score to 5-2 but Spikes closer Cale Willson shut things down over the final 1 2/3 innings to earn his second save in as many nights and fifth on the summer. Kyle Emmons picked up his first win of the summer, allowing just one run over 3 1/3 innings. Elijah Foster and Zach Johnston each pitched a scoreless inning over the final two frames for Trenton.

Aberdeen (13) vs Williamsport (10): BOX SCORE - It was an offensive outburst for both teams in the series second game, combining for 27 hits and eight extra-base hits. The teams exchanged runs in the early innings but the fun got started in the sixth. The Crosscutters brought a pair across to cut the deficit to one before the IronBirds put up a three-run inning, highlighted by Collin Priest’s first MLB Draft League home run. Aberdeen scored another in the seventh on JT Taylor’s fourth hit and second RBI of the night. Nate McHugh brought it to a four-run game again for the Cutters, going to RF on a two-run double at 100mph. On a night full of hits, Hollis Porter’s eighth inning home run was the loudest of them all, travelling 422 feet at 104.4 mph. This was just one night after Porter blasted the furthest home run of the year at 449 feet. The Crosscutters made things interesting in the ninth, pushing five runs across the plate, but ultimately fell three runs short. High school right-hander Jordan Garza was spectacular in his start for the IronBirds, allowing just one run over five innings while striking out four.

West Virginia (11) vs Mexico (9): BOX SCORE - The Black Bears offense broke out for six runs in the first, starting with a two-run double from Jose Fernandez, followed by RBI singles from Ben Barrett and Luke Matthews. The 2026 SWAC Player of the Year, Fernandez’ double came at 114.1 mph off the bat with a launch angle of 12°, making it the hardest hit with a positive launch angle in MLB Draft League history since 2022. He also doubled earlier in the game with a 110-mph exit velocity. Mexico began chipping away in the third as Luis Guajardo drove in two with an RBI double before Jose Almeida scored him with a single. Guajardo was back at it the following inning, driving in his third run of the game with a single as Mexico made it 6-5. Sam Miller’s second home run of the summer was a part of a two-run inning that regained a three-run Black Bears lead but Mexico wouldn’t go away. A pair of runs in the fourth and an Abraham Favela single in the fifth put Mexico out front for the first time in the game (9-8). Marcus Bradshaw tied the game the following half before Kahanu Martinez drove in a pair with a double, which would prove to be the game winning hit. West Virginia’s bullpen helped hold off Mexico down the stretch with a scoreless eighth from Tyler Bryan and scoreless ninth for the save from Trenton Lape.

Canada (16) vs Mahoning Valley (3): BOX SCORE - Eager for their first MLB Draft League win, Canada stormed into Niles, Ohio with a nine-run first inning, capped off by a grand slam from Kadyn Armitage, his first of the International Series. Sam Ellis and Elliot Lascelles each had an RBI single in the inning, a pair of standouts for the Canadian team in the runaway victory. Ellis drove in three on two hits while Lascelles reached base four times. The two teams exchanged runs in the middle innings before Canada’s bats got going again in the late innings. Catcher Aiden Kilshaw blasted a solo home run in the eighth and Jalen Jacob scored another in the ninth on an RBI double down the line at 109 mph. Contributing to the Scrappers three runs was Carlos Sanchez driving in a pair while Daniel Stewart drove in the other on two hits. Sam Davis picked up the win for Canada, pitching three scoreless frames while striking out three and Will Zielinski closed things out over the final two innings, issuing just one baserunner via the walk.

Sunday

West Virginia (7) vs Mexico (5): BOX SCORE - Mexico was a tough test for the Black Bears for the second straight night but West Virginia prevailed, sweeping their portion of the International Series. Trailing 2-0 in the third, David Mosqueda tied things up with a two-run shot for Mexico, his first of three hits. The Black Bears responded swiftly with a pair of runs in the following two innings, highlighted by RBI singles from Ben Barrett and Isaac Wachsmann and would never trail from there. Sebastian Estorga drove in three runs in the back-half of the game for Mexico with a two-run double in the fifth and a sacrifice fly in the ninth, but ultimately wasn’t enough to mount a comeback. All but two of the Black Bears collected a hit and Derrick Tarpley Jr. led the way with a pair. Ben Barrett, a right-hander out of Florida State, made a one inning start for West Virginia and allowed just one hit. Dylan Mannino, Miles Smith and Tyler Bryan each pitched a scoreless inning out of the Black Bears bullpen.

Williamsport (14) vs Aberdeen (6): BOX SCORE - A night after these two teams put up 27 hits, they combined for 20 this time around as the Crosscutters took home the rubber match on the road. The offense wasted no time as the Cutters put up five in the top of the first on RBI singles from Chris Stanfield, Ben Tryon and Brodey Acres before Amari Allen blasted a two-run shot. Josh Skowronski put Aberdeen on the board in the bottom half with a two-run double, his first of two hits and three RBI. The extra-base hits kept on coming for Williamsport with a Maddix Dalena two-run home run (third) and Acres RBI triple. Kyle Schupmann got in on the action in the third with an RBI double of his own. Already with three hits under his belt, Acres blasted a three-run shot in the sixth, putting him a triple short of the cycle. Trey Sweeney picked up his second win on the season, working three dominant innings out of the bullpen allowing just one hit while striking out six. Owen Austin was Aberdeen’s bright spot on the mound, pitching two scoreless innings and striking out two.

Mahoning Valley (10) vs Canada (3): BOX SCORE - With the score tied late, a seven-run seventh inning propelled the Scrappers to the series win. Ciaran Caughey was a tough test for the Canadian hitters, working four scoreless innings on four hits and a walk along with four strikeouts. Canada’s starter Joseph Pereira stymied the Scrappers offense, as well, allowing just two runs over six innings of work. The only two blemishes on Pereira’s record were RBI ground-rule doubles to James Whitman and Josue Malave. The Scrappers big seventh inning got started with a three-run shot from week one player of the week, Carlos Sanchez. Just four batters later, James Whitman blasted a home run of his own, one of his two extra-base hits on the day. Tommy Harrison and Tristan Strickland each provided a pair of hits for Mahoning Valley. Rhys Whiteford led the way for Canada with three hits while Sam Ellis and Cohen Miller chipped in with two apiece.

Trenton (13) @ State College (8): BOX SCORE - The Thunder avoided the sweep by capitalizing on 18 walks and plating eight in the sixth inning to keep their lead in the standings of two games. Leading off for Trenton in the lineup, Brett Patten was leading the offense with a two-hit, two-walk, two-RBI, two-run, two-stolen base night. It was the 21-year-old’s third two-hit game of the week and the most runs he scored and drove in combined this summer. For State College, Tyree Reed and Ty Hamilton each drove in two runs via a ground-rule double by Reed in the second and Hamilton driving in a run on a ground out in the third and sacrifice bunt in the fifth. Andrew Berg worked three no-hit innings for Trenton, and was one of three pitchers to strike out three in the game (Logan Rumberg SC, Luc Rising TRN).
