Coach Gentry Quote
"This was a good team win tonight. We had a solid start by Seth Goodrich followed up by a quality outing by Jhasir Franco. The defense played well behind our pitchers and our offense kept pressure on Lyon by hitting the ball well and good base running."

Game One Overview
Batesville, Ark. – The Eagles loaded the bases in the top of the seventh, but couldn't push across any runs as Lyon College took game one 3-1. Lyon College pitcher Patrick Babcock kept the Eagle batters off balance by striking out 11 in 6.1 innings. The Eagles did get to Babcock in the final inning as Daulton Johnson drew a walk with one out. Juan Munoz did the same and Babcock was relieved of his duties. With two outs, Cole Clark was hit by a pitch to advance both runners. However, Lyon College got a pop out to end the game. The Eagles lone run came in the first inning when Nicholas Bennett ripped an RBI double. Bennett had two of the Eagles' four hits.
