Highlights of the Day
The Tigers held close to the Jimmies in game one, trailing 2-1 through the first five complete innings. DWU was able to tie the game in the top of the sixth at 2-2 as Reagan Grossi put in play a sac hit allowing Peyton Bagley to score. UJ jumped ahead in the sixth with three runs, but the Tigers were unable to tie the game back up in the seventh as the third and final out came a little to quick with runners on and down by a run.
