McDaniel struck first in the opener on an RBI-single from sophomore Anthony Cerone that scored sophomore Thomas Mezzullo in the second inning for a 1-0 lead. The Wolves (4-3) tied the game in the fourth by scoring on a wild pitch but the Green Terror answered in the fifth with a four-run frame. McKenna delivered an RBI-single that scored senior Kyle Carl and sophomore Henry Novario after advancing to second on the throw. Mezzullo then reached on an error, allowing McKenna and Davis to score to make it 5-1 McDaniel. The Green Terror held onto the lead for the final two innings for the win in the opener.

McKenna finished with two hits in three at-bats with two RBIs and a run scored while Mezzullo also had a two-hit day at the plate, going 2-for-3. Cerone had a hit and an RBI while Carl and sophomore Cameron Simon also recorded base hits in the win.

Game 2: McDaniel 11, Western Connecticut State 2

McKenna opened game two with an RBI-double in the first inning, scoring graduate student Shane Daly to take an early 1-0 lead. A two-run triple from Davis in the second plated two more runs for the Green Terror as Daly and first-year Jack Morin scored to go up 3-0.

A six-run third inning blew the game open for the Green Terror. Novario got the scoring started with an RBI-single to send home Cerone; Morin then followed with another RBI-single to score junior Ethan Haddock. A fielder's choice allowed Novario to come home from third to increase the lead to 6-0, and a two-run single from Davis scored Morin and fellow first-year Brayden Simpson to make the score 8-0. A sacrifice fly from Mezzullo plated the final run of the inning to put the Green Terror up by nine.

Morin knocked home another run with an RBI-single to score Haddock in the fourth, and Davis hit a ground-rule double to score Morin for an 11-0 advantage. The Wolves plated two runs in the bottom of the fifth but could not mount another scoring effort.
