Key Stat Lines  
Head Coach Jon Mueller: "Their starter threw the ball extremely well today. We got to play sharp against a ball club like Bryant and we had a few breakdowns mentally, a few mistakes and it cost us at the end of the game. Looking forward to tomorrow, big day tomorrow."

How it Happened:
  • The Great Danes started Kyle Locklear on the bump in game one. Austin Wainer started for the Bulldogs.
  • Bryant started things quickly with Zac Zyons hitting a lead-off home run off the first pitch of the game. Branding Durand singled to the outfield to score the runner from second before scoring on a passed ball, giving the Bulldogs an early 3-0 advantage.
