  1. The Saints game had a Waxahachie swap in the first inning. From the recap,

    With a depleted bullpen and Saints starter Louie Varland already at 42 pitches in the first inning, the Saints put Varland in left and had Chris Williams pitch. He got the final out of the inning.

    By rule, since Williams wasn’t leaving the game, he had to face two more batters and Sandy León led off the second with a walk and Skye Bolt singled him to third. Varland then came back on the mound and Alvarez Jr. made it 4-0 with a three-run homer to right-center.
