Carter Mitchell and Connor Welling both played starring roles for Ravenna with a double apiece. Mitchell led the Ravens in hits (two) and runs batted in (three) while Welling tossed a complete game, limiting the Comets to five runs (one earned).
Southeast 14, Liberty 0

Streetsboro 12, Field 0
The Rockets snapped the Falcons’ five-game win streak, adding to the pandemonium in the Metro Athletic Conference standings. Streetsboro scored three runs in the first, four in the second and five in the third to build a big lead. That was plenty for Jake Szczecinski, who tossed a four-hit shutout (in addition to driving in three runs) for the Rockets. Brady Long reached base three times with a double and two walks to go with two runs and two RBIs. Jayden Coffie, Colton Cox, Graham Jonas and Scott Wilson added two hits apiece for Streetsboro (8-7, 6-4).
The Falcons fell to 7-3 in the MAC while first-place Cloverleaf absorbed its second league loss against Woodridge to drop to 8-2. Norton is also in the thick of the title chase at 9-3.
Wickliffe 3, Rootstown 1
The Rovers fell despite R.J. Soika’s three-hitter. Soika limited the Blue Devils to three runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks. Alex Ely, George Luli and Jayden Whitesel had two hits apiece to lead Rootstown offensively.

Ursuline 5, Southeast 3
In an odd twist, seven of the game’s eight runs were scored in the fifth inning.
