GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Redfield went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double and RBI. Richey and Ryan Gonzalez finished with two hits apiece.

GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
  • After giving up three runs in the top of the first inning, Spring Arbor responded with six runs in the home half of the frame while hitting three home runs. Aiden Brunin led things off with a solo shot and, after a single by Redfield, Braydon Gregory followed with a two-run bomb. Connor Dee capped the inning with his first collegiate homer – a three-run shot – giving the Cougars a 6-3 lead.
  • The Trojans answered immediately, however, with two runs in the second inning and two more in the third to grab a 7-6 advantage.
  • Taylor tacked on one more run in the top of the seventh inning to extend its lead to 8-6.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, Aiden Brunin and Richey reached base with one out when Gregory doubled off the left field wall to score Brunin. After an intentional walk to Brennan Moran to load the bases, Zeeb delivered the game-winning hit, a two-RBI single to score Richey and Eli DeVisser, who was pinch-running for Gregory.
  • Ryan Ruhlman was outstanding out of the bullpen, tossing 4.0 scoreless innings of relief to keep the Cougars within striking distance. Jack Will picked up the win on the mound.
