Dillon McWilliams pitched will for Fruitport, tossing 6 2/3 innings, scattering give hits and striking out six. Christian Kennedy had a hit for the Trojans.
Fruitport lost the second game 4-3 to Northview. The extra-inning affair went to the ninth inning, when Northview won on a two-out walk-off single.
