After the Mustangs plated a run in the sixth, the Wildcats scored two unearned runs in the seventh on a two-run double by Caden Power.

Price collected two of the seven hits recorded by the Wildcats. Price and Power finished with two runs batted in each.

In game two, Anthony Ribes held the Mustangs scoreless for 4 2/3 innings before trouble surfaced. Three straight singles accounted for three runs before a two-run homer ended a five-run frame.

Ribes registered seven strikeouts among the 14 outs he got against the visitors. He also walked five and allowed six hits.

Jordan Scott drove in the only C-SC run, scoring Caden Power with a single in the fifth inning.
