The Colts (23-7, 16-4 Area 4) took a 9-2 decision in the opener and completed the sweep with a 14-1 rout in the nightcap to clinch the Area 4 Southern Division crown. Tommy George gave up three hits and two runs in the first inning of Game 1, but held the Pilots hitless the rest of the way to record his fourth victory in six decisions. Dan Chancler and Tim Holtz each went 3-for-5 with two RBIs, while Logan Boyd and Kevin Salisbury each added a pair of hits.
