The Wildcats were limited to six hits in the opener with Jaison Andujar collecting two of the six safeties. Tristan Meny and Ryan Osso drove in a run each.
In the nightcap, Andujar and Kannon Kirk each went 3-for-4 while Jordan Scott was 2-for 3 in the Wildcats' nine-hit attack. Andujar, Scott and Bryan Barreto registered an RBI each.
The Wildcats are scheduled to conclude the regular season next weekend, Friday and Saturday, April 26-27, at nationally-ranked Central Methodist University in Fayette, Mo. The first game each day is set to start at 1 p.m.
