Top hitters for Brandywine were Zache and Grice both with two singles.
Brandywine had a much closer game in the championship round as it faced the host of the tourney, South Bend Adams, and lost by one point, 5-4.
The Bobcats didn't score any runs until the top of the fifth when they picked up four runs.
Laura Maglozzi was the winning pitcher against Zache. Mallory Barber was the top hitter for Brandywine with a double and two RBIs.
