• After a strikeout to open the 9th inning, Eric Bradberry drew a walk and Jordan Wenzel followed with his 5^th hit of the game. A strikeout put CU down to their final out but George Cutler kept the rally going with a 2-out 2RBI double to make it 10-9.

Game Two – Cornerstone 13, Lourdes 9

• The Gray Wolves again struck early and often as they put up three runs in the first and followed with five in the second
