Blaine 3, Granite Falls 0
Baserunners were hard to come by, but the Borderites were able to push across all three of their runs in the bottom of the fifth inning when catcher Evan Yates hit a double to score Kai Kerwin, and that was followed up by a Deon Bowman single that scored Jesse Deming and Brady Dohner, who went in to run for Yates. Alejandro Moser-Hernandez gave up just two hits and struck out 10 batters, but was given the non-decision as the game was still scoreless when he was replaced on the mound. Diego Guttierez picked up the win in relief, his second of the season.
