Muhlenberg won 13-2 in the first game and 7-4 in the second to sweep a doubleheader at Albright. Although the Mules (3-1-1) scored 20 runs in the two games, it was their pitching that was the most impressive. Five Muhlenberg hurlers combined to allow only three earned runs in 14 innings in the two games. In the opener, senior Quinn Rovner allowed hits to four of the first five batters, bringing in two runs, but settled in and did not allow any more runs in his six-inning stint. His first strikeout, in the fifth, was a big one, a called third strike with the bases loaded and one out.

This start saw Pond go two innings, striking out two and allowing one earned run. Lynchburg stunned York in the 7th inning putting up eight runs on six hits.

Wilmington won in different ways on Sunday, defeating Ohio Wesleyan 3-0 in a low-scoring contest and outhitting Mount St. Joseph to an 8-6 triumph in the nightcap at Thomas More Stadium in Florence, Kentucky. In the victory over the Battling Bishops, the Quakers, who have had trouble getting out of the early innings unscathed, flipped that script. The Bishops outhit the Quakers 6-5 with D.J. Neff hitting the only extra-base hit for either team with a double. In the nightcap trailing 4-0, WC wasted no time battling back as the Quaker batted around in the top of the third. Trent Mendenhall, who relieved starter Luke Chappie to begin the bottom of the third, kept MSJ off the scoreboard for five straight innings. During that time, the Quakers added two insurance runs in the fifth. An RBI-double from Depa in the eighth made it 8-6, and Reliford earned his second save of the day with a three-up, three-down ninth inning.

No. 4 LaGrange (8-3) pounded the ball early and often and took advantage of four errors as they took the rubber game from North Carolina Wesleyan (9-3) with a 15-9 victory on Sunday. The Panthers would waste no time jumping out ahead on NCWU as they hammered out eight runs on just six hits over the first three innings. That would see freshman catcher Curt Bonner punch an RBI single through the left side in the first and a pair of run scoring knocks by freshman shortstop Jackson McElvy and senior outfielder Rhett Mixon in the second. Three runs in the fifth would pull the Battling Bishops to within three but Ruth and Bonner would quickly erase those gains with a two-RBI triple and RBI single to center, respectively, in the bottom of the fifth. That pushed the lead to 11-5 and a seventh inning error with the bases loaded deepened the hole at eight runs. From there the Panthers would go on to close out the 15-9 victory and claim the series.
