Kyle Gibson's sacrifice fly game Millikin a 6-0 lead in the third inning. Coleman added a run scoring double in the eighth to make it 7-0 Millikin
Gibson, Coleman, Tommy Shaw and Lucas Ryan all had two hits in the game for Millikin.
 
North Park scored a run in the bottom of the eighth inning when Alex DiVito doubled and scored on a Big Blue error.
 
In game two, Millikin scored two runs in the top of the first thanks to two Vikings errors. North Park answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning highlighted by homer by Ranko Stevanovic and a two-run single by
Cole Fiorenza. North Park added three runs in the second on a run scoring double by Stevanovic and a two-run single by Jim Zay.
 
The Big Blue rallied with a three-run fourth inning. Coleman homered and Keagan Brady drove home two with a double. Brady hit a solo home run in the sixth to pull Millikin to within one at 7-6.
 
Stevanovic homered in the bottom of the sixth to extend the Vikings lead back to two runs at 8-6. The Big Blue continued to battle back with Gibson singling home a run in the top of the eighth to make it an 8-7 game.
