Ben Wright handled all nine innings for the Eagles on the mound, allowing just two hits while striking out six and issuing no walks. Casey Doucette suffered the defeat, allowing three earned runs in seven innings of action.

A scoring surge midway through the contest netted 12 runs for homestanding USI in game two to secure the sweep. The Screaming Eagles pushed across four runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings to account for all their scoring. The Rangers (1-17, 1-15 GLVC) plated their lone score in the fifth with a John Perszyk RBI single scoring Eric Abel who opened the inning with a base hit.

Abel led the UWP offense, collecting two of the squad's five hits, finishing two-for-three at the plate while scoring a run.
