On Wednesday Tripp Blackmon got the start and pitched seven innings striking out four and did not allow an earned run. Ingram pitched a perfect seventh inning to get the save.

Denison stayed hot with a 3-4 day at the plate and an RBI. Ingram added two hits and Burden was 2-4 with a double and RBI. Luke Hastings, Hunter Baggett, and John Johnson each had two singles.
