HOW IT HAPPENED
Game 1 vs. Furman
The two teams started off exchanging runs, with Furman striking first in the bottom of the opening inning. The Cardinals responded with a run to tie the game in the top of the second, scoring off a dropped fly ball at first base. The Paladins added a run in the bottom half of the second to regain their lead, before the Cardinals tied things up once again with an RBI single from Wendel in the top of the fourth. Furman broke out in the bottom of the fourth with a 5-run inning, extending its lead to 7-2. UIW started to rally in the top of the sixth, when Villanueva launched a solo shot over the left-field wall. Sobolewski stepped to the plate next and sent another one out of the park to bring the Cardinals to within three runs. UIW couldn't keep the rally going, however, and eventually fell to Furman, 7-4.

Game 2 vs. Troy
Troy jumped ahead early with a three-run inning to open up the game, followed by another run in the second, three in the fourth and two more in the fifth to close out the 9-0 victory.
