Game One:

- The seventh and eighth runs of the inning came from a Patton high-flying home run that brought in Kyle Mack.
- The Falcons put up one more run in the third to narrow the AU to now 8-3.
- Another huge inning for the Spartans saw five more runs plated in the third.
- That was capped off by another Patton homer, he knew it off the bat as gave it a good long look on his way around the bases.
- AU tallied tallied three more runs in the fourth and three more in the sixth with a couple Falcon runs sprinkled in the middle.
- The Spartans took command in game one, and came out ahead 20-5.

Game Two
- Game two started with the Spartans going up early, as Goddard smacked a home run out to left on a two strike count, scoring Jaden Holgado and Nick Czarnecki to put AU on top 3-0 after two innings.
- CUW tacked on two runs in the third, AU's lead now only 3-2.
- The Falcons then tallied 11 unanswered runs over the next few innings.
- Matthew Washing had an RBI single in the sixth to score Holgado, this took the score 13-4 Falcons.
- CUW put up five more runs in the fourth putting this one out of reach.
- The Spartans didn't go down without a fight as in their last effort of the seventh inning, Zack Tarrant launched a moon-shot home run into night.
- Patton then reached on error by the Falcon shortstop allowing Mack to come in and score.
- It was inevitably too much as the Spartans would fall in game two 18-6.
