A single by JP Gates with two outs in the fourth followed by a triple by Hunter Stowe plated the first Valdosta State run. DSU fell in order in the bottom of the fourth. 3-1 Delta State after 4.
  • Two hits by the Blazers to lead the fifth inning paid off in the form of another VSU run to cut into the Statesmen lead. However, Clowers came around to score following a one-out double on an RBI single by McCauley. A single by Trahan and a walk to Hayden Cooper later allowed McCauley to score on a ground out by Brett Burrell. A Matt Corder RBI double scored Trahan from third. 6-2 Delta State after 5.
  • Cade Hodges relieved Koch in the sixth inning and stranded a VSU runner in the sixth. Hodges pitched the remaining 3.2 innings, holding the Blazers to just one hit down the stretch. Delta State held on for the 6-2 win and out-hit VSU 14-6 for the game.
HOW IT HAPPENED - GAME TWO

A two-out, three-run home run by Bryson Gandy started the scoring for the Blazers. DSU went in order in their half of the inning. 3-0 Blazers after 2.
  • VSU had two outs in the top of the third when Gates hit a double to keep the inning alive. A walk and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases.
