In the opener, UW-Whitewater pounded out 21 hits and tallied eight runs in the second inning, five in the third and nine in the fourth to account for its third-highest run output in one game in school history.

Senior centerfielder Kyle Haen (Madison/Edgewood) also contributed with an RBI single during the frame.
 
A five-run third inning featured run-scoring hits by senior left fielder Trey Cannon (Palatine, IL/Palatine), senior shortstop Mikole Pierce (DePere/DePere) and junior designated hitter Dane Burman (Milton, Wis./Milton), and increased the UW-Whitewater lead to 13-1 through three.
 
In the fourth, Cannon, Pierce, Gregory and Kuhlmann all delivered run-scoring singles before Haen cleared the bases with a three-run triple to right field. Freshman pinch hitter Daytona Bryden (Rockton, IL/Hononegah) capped the frame with a run-scoring single to right center.
