The Trojans started off the series with a tough 4-3 loss on Friday as the Red Wolves scored all four runs in the first three innings and hung on as Troy attempted to rally late. Jesse Hall finished the game going 2-for-5 at the plate with two RBIs, while William Sullivan went 2-for-3 with a run. Garrett Gainous took the loss on the mound as he struck out three batters and gave up six hits and two earned runs in six and 1/3 innings pitched.

On Saturday, Troy tied the series up with a dominant 6-1 win. Troy jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning after Easton Kirk hit a solo home run and then Donovan Whibbs hit a 2-RBI single that drove both Trey Leonard and Clay Stearns home.

Kirk went 2-for-4 at the plate with a home run, one RBI and one run, while Whibbs went 2-for-3 with three RBIs. Brady Fuller earned the win on the mound with four strikeouts, while giving up just two hits and one earned run in seven innings pitched.
