Game One
Keiser Highlights

• Carlos Pena led the offense with a 4-for-4 day at the plate including a grand slam.
• Peter Crocitto had three hits in the opening game with one double.

Turning Point
The game was knotted at 5-5 in the seventh when the Warriors used a sacrifice fly to left, reclaiming a one-run lead.

How it Happened

• Webber took advantage of a two-out error in the first by plating a pair of unearned runs but the Seahawks got a run back in the bottom half.
• Miguel Casanueva drew a one-out walk and moved to third on a Crocitto double down the left field line. Marco Rivera then pushed the lone run across with an RBI groundout to short.
• The Seahawks took their first lead of the afternoon in the third with a two-out, grand slam to left by Pena, making it 5-2.
• WIU mounted a comeback by scoring a run in the fifth, two in the sixth, one in the seventh, and four in the eighth to lead 10-5.
• KU trimmed the margin to three in the eighth after scoring a run on a throwing error and a sacrifice fly to right by Ryan Gronlier.
• The Seahawks attempted a rally in the ninth but came up just short. Carlos Lopez brought in a run with an RBI single to left but the next two batters were retired with the bases loaded, falling, 10-8.

 
Game Two
Keiser Highlights

• Victor Hughes earned his second straight win on the mound after throwing 8.2 innings with a season-best 14 strikeouts. The 14 punch outs tie the program-record set by Kyle Keatts last season against this very same team.
• Jonathan Fernandez had a game-best three hits while Rivera, Lopez, and Pena recorded two hits apiece.
• Rivera tied the program record for doubles in a season with 20, which was set by Keivan Berges in 2016.

Turning Point
The Seahawks trailed 2-1 in the seventh when Webber gave up consecutive bases-loaded walks, putting Keiser out in front for the first time in the contest. 

How it Happened

• For the third time this series, Webber struck first with a leadoff home run to left in the second but Pena matched it with his second of the day during the bottom half.
• Hughes then sat down 14 straight before Coleman belted a one-out single to center in the seventh. Begg followed with a double to left center and Coleman would have been thrown out at home if it wasn't for an errant throw, making it 2-1.
• Keiser took their first lead of the second game in the bottom half with back-to-back bases-loaded walks to Casanueva and Crocitto. Rivera then smashed a two-run double down the left field line, upping the margin to 5-2.
• The Seahawks pushed one last run across in the eighth during a double play before Webber smacked a one-out solo homer to left center and got the second run on a two-out RBI single, climbing within, 6-4.
• However, KU called on Darrien Ragins to record the final out of the game. Ragins reared back and punched the batter out to earn his second save of the season.
