O'Neil hit .444 against the Raptors. In Game 1, he went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk and scored three times. O'Neil followed that up with a 2-for-5 effort at the plate in Game 2, stealing two bases. He has an active 13-game hitting streak.
 
Nash threw a complete game, two-hitter to lead Hobart to victory in Game 1. He struck out seven batters, one off his season-high, without issuing a walk. Nash retired the first 13 batters he faced and allowed just a single run in the sixth inning. The win was his sixth of the season, one off the Hobart single-season record.

Farnen hit .667 in Hobart's Liberty League Crossover Series against Bard. In Game 1's 15-1 Hobart win, he was 3-for-3 with five RBIs and three runs scored. He had an RBI walk in the first inning, an RBI triple in the second, an RBI single in the third and a two-RBI single in the fifth. It was Farnen's second three-hit game of the season. In Game 2's 5-1 Hobart win, he was 1-for-3 with an RBI. He also reached base on a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Farnen has reached base safely in 23 straight games.
