The Cougars amassed 16 hits in the game. Nick Alagna went 4-for-6 on the plate to lead in hits. Davis Robinson, Chance Greene, and Ethan Chiodini each collected multiple hits. Jacksen Tankersley started as pitcher for St Charles. He surrendered eight hits and four runs (three earned) over five and two-thirds innings, striking out eight and walking two. Jeter Rupp appeared in relief for St Charles CC Cougars.  

The next afternoon, the teams returned for game two. After three run less innings for both sides, the Cougars opened the scoring in the fourth after Kurt Leiber hit a solo home run to right field. The lead was increased to 5-0 after a ground ball by Jaiden Glency and a single by Brenan Goering, each scoring one run, and a triple by Nick Alagna scoring two. Metro attempted a comeback, but the Cougars held them off for the remainder of the game, winning 6-5.  

This win will take the Cougars to the Regional Tournament, with their first game being May 7th.
