Game One
Christian Brothers kept pace early but could not overcome a big third inning in a 14–4 loss to Valdosta State.
The Blazers struck for 11 runs across the first three innings, including an eight-run third that created a large early gap. CBU starter Kade Johnson took the loss after allowing nine runs in two innings of work.
The Bucs responded with steady offense midway through the game. Jordan Rodriguez drove in a run in the fourth, Isaac Lemanski launched a two-run homer in the fifth, and Ivan Zambrano added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to cut into the deficit. Patrick Mangels led the effort at the plate with three hits, while Lemanski finished with two hits and two RBIs.
Despite collecting nine hits, Christian Brothers could not keep up with Valdosta State's early surge and late insurance runs.
Game Two
Christian Brothers bounced back in a high-scoring showdown, outlasting Valdosta State 19–14 in a back-and-forth offensive battle.
The Bucs wasted no time setting the tone, scoring four runs in the opening inning behind a two-run home run from Isaac Lemanski and a two-run single from Nick Petruzzello. CBU continued to apply pressure throughout the game, scoring in seven different innings and finishing with 20 hits.
Cayden Freels delivered a standout performance, going 5-for-5 with four RBIs, while Zowen Collins added three hits and four RBIs. Lemanski and Ivan Zambrano each scored three runs as the lineup produced from top to bottom.
Valdosta State made several pushes, including a six-run fourth inning and a four-run seventh that tied the game at one point, but Christian Brothers answered each time. The Bucs pulled away late with a five-run ninth inning to secure the win.
Charlie Faoro earned the win on the mound, while the bullpen combined to hold off the Blazers down the stretch.
Game Three
The momentum from Game Two did not carry over, as Christian Brothers was held to just one hit in a 4–1 loss in the series finale.
Valdosta State took control with a run in the third and added two more in the fifth, taking advantage of a defensive miscue to extend the lead. The Bucs broke through in the sixth on a sacrifice fly from Brayden Basey, but that would be their only run of the game.
Jordan Rodriguez recorded the lone hit for CBU, while the offense struck out 11 times against Valdosta State pitching.
Cameron Olivo turned in a solid start, allowing three runs, two earned, over five innings, but received little run support as the Bucs dropped the final game of the series.
