Seventh-seed Davenport Assumption stunned second-seed Carlisle with a 6-1 victory in a thrilling Iowa high school baseball tournament game, sending the Knights to the semifinals for the first time since 2022. With a 21-13 record and a newfound swagger, Assumption’s offense exploded early, scoring four runs in the first two innings and six more in the fourth, led by Jack DiIulio’s two RBIs. Pitcher Cooper Sweeney dominated for five innings, allowing just one earned run.
