Game One
Wyman started on the mound, yielding three runs on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out seven.
The Britons got a run back in the sixth. Colton Rydlewski drew a two-out walk and a pair of Defiance errors moved him over to third base. He scored on Edward Gietzen's single.
Albion was unable to get a shutdown inning after scoring, however, as Defiance plated a pair of runs with two out in the bottom half of the frame.
James Spilko produced Albion's other run, sending a double to the left-center gap to push Wyman across the plate.

The host Yellow Jackets scored four times in the first, added a run in the second, two more in the third and one in the fourth to build an 8-2 lead.
