Perschke went 2-for-4 for the Warriors at the plate. Center fielder Jason Vause had a pair of singles for the Cowboys.

Matt Rhodes allowed five hits, one earned run, two walks and fanned five in 5.2 innings for HSU. Jeremy Hallmark (1-0) picked up the win with 1.1 innings of scoreless relief.

Against the Comets, Radack led off with an infield single, stole second, was bunted over by Ritz and scored on a Wyatt Hogan ground ball to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead. UTD tied the game in the third on a double from shortstop Jimmy Norris. They added four in the fifth inning, including a two-run double from Nick Marti to go up 5-1. They tacked on single runs in the sixth and the eighth as well.

Radack went 2-for-4 with two steals and Perschke hit a double for Hendrix. Marti had two hits and two RBI for UTD. Donovan Vess and Pierce Fly each scored twice.
