Game 1
Tyler Nordgren, Kyle Desimone and Tyler Hanzawa each collected two hits to support Cole Chandler in his first career start but Dixie State rallied for four runs in the top of the eight to spoil the opener for Point Loma 6-4.
 
PLNU held a 4-2 lead entering the eight, thanks to a three-run first inning and an RBI single by Desimone in the seventh, but in the inning Dixie State got a bases clearing double from Kevin Kline who eventually came around to score on a wild pitch to turn the Sea Lions' two-run lead into a two-run deficit.
 
Kline finished the game 2-for-3 with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored.
 
Kevin Dorantes (4-1) earned the win for DSC after throw 2.1 innings in relief. Evan Parker also earned his league-leading 12th save of the season with a scoreless ninth. Mickey Dunleavy (2-2) took the loss.
 
Cole Chandler pitched well for PLNU but received the no-decision. He gave up just two hits and two runs (one earned) over six innings pitched.
 
Game 2
Tyler Nordgren drove in two runs as part of three-run fourth inning for PLNU but Dixie State rallied  four runs in their half of the fifth to spoil the series finale for Point Loma, 4-3.
 
Garret Levsen (5-3) pitched well despite taking the loss. He threw all seven innings allowing seven hits and four runs while walking one and striking out three.
