Right fielder Taylor White (Highlands Ranch, Colo./ThunderRidge) posted three hits, one run scored and one run batted in, and centerfielder Jacob DeMeyer (Harshaw, Wis./Rhinelander) totaled two doubles, two runs scored and three RBIs.
 
Third baseman Tucker Criswell (Tallahassee, Fla./Lawton Chiles) collected two hits and one run scored, and second baseman Jason Abatto (Delafield, Wis./Kettle Moraine) registered one hit, two runs scored and two RBIs.

Max Huseboe (Ripon, Wis./Ripon) tossed a pair of scoreless innings in relief, and Connor Moroder (Pewaukee, Wis./Pewaukee) finished the game by pitching the final two frames.
 
In the second game, the Warhawks scored in six of their seven at-bats, taking the contest 10-0 by run rule after seven innings.

Starting pitcher Connor Spear (Highland, Ind./Mount Carmel (Ill.)) allowed one hit and struck out six over six innings to move to 4-0 on the season. Hayden Fox (Stockton, Ill./Stockton) pitched a 1-2-3 top of the seventh in relief.
