Highlights
- The Hornets struck for six runs in the first inning, taking advantage of six EMU walks along with three hits and an error. They added a pair in the second and third to lead 10-0 after three.
- EMU picked up its first hit in the second when Natty Solomon doubled and Alec Riles singled with two outs, sending Solomon to third. But a foul out ended the threat, keeping the Royals scoreless.
