SPARTAN HIGHLIGHTS - GAME TWO

- The Spartans then found themselves down 5-4 going to the bottom of the ninth. Cole Davis led off with a double and scored the tying run on a Colin Rivard one-out single.
- AU relievers, Drew Marovich and Nick Malmberg left two Wabash runners stranded in each of the 10th and 11th innings.
- In the bottom of the 12th, AU got the offense clicking. With two outs, Davis Purviance and Jett Wedekind drew walks. Purviance would score the winning run on an AJ Gill single and AU was victorious 6-5.
