Boby Johnson took the loss for FSCC allowing 5 runs in 4.2 innings pitched.

Game 2 saw more of a pitchers dual with the Greyhounds falling to the Blue Devils 3-0. Justun O'Laughlin took the loss on the mound allowing 3 runs on 8 hits in 4.2 innings of work. The FSCC offense could only muster 4 hits in the game with 2 of them coming from Nick Banman.

On the mound Connor Leach and Kolton Meyer got the wins. FSCC hit 5 homeruns: Danny Crews, Nick Banman (2) Mackay Williams, and Jacob Biller. Gabe Franklin added 4 hits for FSCC, and Darren Hasch won game 2 with a walk off bunt single. Head Coach John Hill III shared his thoughts on the last 6 games:

"It was a tough conference stretch for our team, but we have rebounded nicely. It's good to see that these kids have the resiliency to weather the storm, and come out of the tough stretch even stronger. We look forward to the challenge of this last conference weekend heading into the playoffs."
