Game Flow
 
Game 1 – The Golden Eagles were able to get off to an early four run lead, scoring four in the second inning on a Joe Corsten RBI single and a Jon Stewart 3 RBI triple. Judson was able to respond in the bottom of the inning after an error kept the inning alive and a grand slam tied the game at four.
 
Brett Shure pitched strong throughout, going 5.1 innings and striking out seven, but Judson was able to muster the only two earned runs against Shure in the fifth with back-to-back sacrifice flies that gave JU a 6-4 lead. Cornerstone nearly rallied in the bottom of the seventh, but could only get one back, falling 6-5.
 
Game 2 – Zach Brog recorded his first start as a Golden Eagle in game two and could not find a rhythm, as he hit four batters and had three wild pitches. The pitching struggles allowed Judson to get some consistent offense as they scored at least one run in each of the first five innings.
 
Cornerstone was able to get four runs of their own in three consecutive innings, highlighted by another Jon Stewart RBI triple that scored two. The Golden Eagles were down 8-4 after five and were unable to get anymore runs in the last two innings, resulting in their second consecutive loss.
