GAME ONE (W, 13-9)

Four runs scored on two hits and an error in the top of the second inning to give SVSU a 4-0 advantage.  Justin Kelly (Wheaton, Ill. / Wheaton Warrenville South) belted his 37th career home run in the bottom of the third inning to cut the visitor's lead in half, 4-2.  With the blast, Kelly passes WSU Hall of Famer Jon Weisman (2003-07) to become the new home run leader.

The Green & Gold erupted for 11 runs on eight hits and three errors in the bottom of the fourth inning.  Ryan Foley (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Saline) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded before Jacob Finkbeiner (Saline, Mich.) drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the game at 4-4.    A Kelly two-run double and a two-run single from Hunter DeLanoy (Hartland, Mich.) gave the home team an 8-4 lead.  A Cardinals' error allowed another run to score before Rudy Ramirez (Brighton, Mich.) singled home WSU's 10th run of the day.  Noah Miller (Macomb, Mich. / University Liggett) singled to left to bring home another run and Tristen Jorah (Clinton Twp., Mich. / Sterling Heights Stevenson) grounded out to third base but a run scored to make it 12-4.  Foley plated the final run of the inning with an RBI single to left field.

SVSU scored three runs on a hit and five walks in the top of the fifth inning to trim deficit to 13-7.  Two more runs scored for the Cards in the top of the seventh inning to make the final score 13-9.
