CDO, the District 5 champion, held off Casa Grande behind the pitching of Connor O’Shea to start the game and Theo Honke III with the save. O’Shea did not allow a hit in three innings and he struck out four batters. Honke allowed one hit in the sixth inning but prevented Casa Grande from rallying to finish the game. Honke’s run-scoring single in the third was part of a two-run rally that put CDO ahead 4-1. A two-run double by AJ Bourland in the first inning gave CDO a 2-1 lead. Casa Grande rallied for two runs with no outs in the fourth to cut the lead. CDO quelled the rally by getting three straight outs.
