Quincy was the visiting team in the second game and raced out to a seven run first inning as they batted around. That was more than enough support for Burkhart as he threw a five inning complete game allowing two unearned runs and five hits. He also struck out four.
Bethel doubled in the nightcap. The Orioles also swiped seven bases including two from Riley Miner. Economou and Rodesiler ended up with two hits.
