Wesleyan scored their final two runs of the game thanks to a wild pitch and Reece Puckett hit by pitch.

Coy Burns (1-0) struck out five in four innings of work and came away with the win. Gavin Simpkins (S,1) picked up his first save of the year by allowing just one hit over the final three innings of play.

Game Two

After both teams went hitless in the first 2.5 innings of game two, Kentucky Wesleyan got on the board first with a Kyle Richardson RBI to score Ben Wilcoxson.
