Dalton Tibbetts made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over seven innings pitched.

Tibbetts wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Anthony Selejan, who went 1-for-3 with one double and one RBI.

Atlantic Coast's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-8. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.9 runs over those games. As for Ribault, the victory got them back to even at 7-7.
