Cody Boshell had just played seven innings of high school baseball in the early afternoon. So he wasn't expecting to have his best pitches working for a doubleheader finish against Bolles.

"I was staying within myself," the Bishop Snyder senior said. "I knew I wasn't going to have electric stuff because we'd played a game before that, and it's been a long time since I played a game and then had to pitch."

If this is how Boshell pitches without that electric stuff, opponents are in real trouble when it's on.

The Tennessee signee hurled a one-hit, five-inning shutout in the 10-0 nightcap that clinched the best-of-3 Florida High School Athletic Association Region 1-2A baseball semifinal for Bishop Snyder on May 1, after the Cardinals had won the opener 8-5.

Because of threatened weather, the teams agreed to play a doubleheader Friday. Some other Northeast Florida teams retained the original FHSAA schedule, with only Game 1 Friday and a potential doubleheader Saturday.

For Bishop Snyder, now up to 29 team home runs, the power surge goes on. Tripp Hannah clubbed a three-run first-inning shot in Game 1, Ilias Mamea hit a three-run blast in the second inning of Game 2 and Cole Dennis went deep twice. The Jacksonville University commit has cleared the fences six times in his last five games.

"I've never had [a home run streak like this]," said Dennis, whose 11 homers on the season are tied for second in Florida. "It's crazy, to be honest."

Bishop Snyder led the opener 6-0 early but had to snuff out a Bolles (19-9) rally. The Bulldogs cut the lead to 7-5 in the sixth inning on Rylan Baker's two-run single and loaded the bases, but Lewis Turner escaped the jam with help from a superb bare-handed play by shortstop Hannah.

The second game was all Cardinals, including four RBI from Mamea. Boshell struck out six and faced the minimum, with both Bolles runners erased quickly.

For the second time in three years, the Cardinals (22-6) are back in the FHSAA regional finals on May 8 and 9 against the winner of the series between Trinity Christian and Ocala Trinity Catholic. Trinity Christian edged Bishop Snyder 11-10 in a 13-inning epic for the district title two weeks ago.

"I can't wait to go out there and show them what we have," Boshell said.

REGION 1-6A

Gainesville Buchholz d. Oakleaf 2-0 (5-3, 7-1)

Zac Brown's home run pushed Gainesville Buchholz in front in the fifth inning of Game 1 for a 5-3 victory, and Reed Thomas dominated on the mound with 12 strikeouts in a five-hitter as the Bobcats completed the sweep, 7-1 over Oakleaf (13-16).

Aiden Kastensmidt also doubled twice for Buchholz (21-7), who will meet the winner of the rain-affected series between Tocoi Creek and Pace.

REGION 1-1A

Tallahassee St. John Paul II d. Covenant 2-0 (7-6, 7-2)

Michael Rice's walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth lifted St. John Paul II (18-8) past Covenant 7-6 in Game 1, and Max Helbling worked six solid innings to overcome Covenant 7-2 in Game 2 in Tallahassee.

Down to their last out in the opener, Covenant (14-14) forced extras on Kelan Wilson's two-run double, and Flagler College signee Landon Jones also homered.

REGION 3-RURAL

Union County d. Madison County 2-0 (7-6, 10-7)

Jeffrey Brugh's walk-off sacrifice fly nailed down the 7-6 victory in the opener for Union County and Erick Lasseter's go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh inning of the nightcap sealed a 10-7 win to eliminate Madison County (15-9).

Nate Robertson supplied five total RBI for the Fightin' Tigers (20-7) and Jasen Sullivan whacked a key insurance homer in the seventh of Game 2.
