They began the day with a game against No. 2 seed Concordia and fell to them in seven innings by a score of 12-1.

They not only beat them but blew them out 16-5 and put the game to bed in seven innings. Now tomorrow they will play No. 2 seed Concordia again for a chance to punch their ticket to the championship game on Monday, May 4.
