In game one,

Samuel Zeigler turned in a highlight reel snag in the sixth when he leaped and reached over the fence to rob Max Hammond of a home run and keep it a one-run contest.

Devon Sanders fell to 0-3 despite allowing just one run, on six hits, with three strikeouts and two walks, in six innings of work.

In game two,
Penn College took an early 4-0 lead with four runs in the first inning. Richard Lennon, Brittan Kittle, Colton Riley, and Alex Flicker all picked up RBIs in the first frame.
