Kaylwer Swearingin got the start on the mound and forced three straight ground outs to start the game as it moved to the second inning.
Logan Hutson led off with a single. The next batter hit into a fielder’s choice for the first out before Colton Richey drew a walk to put two runners on base.

This was followed up with a double into the gap that allowed the runner to score all the way from first base to cut the lead to 2-1.
