They later took the lead 17-16 before blowing it in the top of the ninth to fall 19-17. Individually, Adam Wilding has been raking at the plate with 32 hits in 57 at bats for a .561 clip. He has four doubles, four triples, and one bomb with a team best 15 RBI. On the mound, SHU has seen struggles with a team ERA of 9.87. Their three primary starting pitchers all have an ERA over seven so far this season.

Lourdes has struggled defensively this season, ranking 12th in the NAIA with 2.3 errors per game. Offensively, they are hitting .286 as a team led by Noah Childress who hits .409 with a team high five HR's and 15 RBI. The mound has not been a strength for Lourdes this season so far either with a team ERA of 6.88.
