NSU junior starter Tyler Yancey lasted just 2.0 innings on the mound after allowing two runs on two hits. He settled for the no-decision after walking six and striking out three. Junior Zach Poehl (1-0) earned his first-career victory on the mound after throwing 3.0 clean innings of relief. He did not allow a hit, but he did walk three and strike out one.
 
Senior Jake Kern threw the next 3.0 frames and did not give up any runs. He allowed two hits and struck out four. Junior Thomas Murray pitched the ninth and was tagged for five runs on three hits. He walked two and hit a batter.
 
Mike Million finished 3-for-4 for the home team with two runs batted in and two runs scored. Alex Ludwick was 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run. Million hit a homer and has now went deep in both games of the series.
 
Lincoln starter Trevor Schnieders (1-3) was saddled with the loss after conceding 11 runs on seven hits in 3.2 frames. He walked seven and did not record a strikeout. Zach Maskill came on in relief and calmed down the RiverHawks in the final 5.1 innings. He did not give up a run on three hits, while striking out five and walking just two.
