Dixie State University plowed its way through game one against Notce Dame de Namur University by putting up 11 runs in the first four innings before a mercy rule came into play and kept the Argonauts scoreless in game two. "Game one, I thought our bats were hot; I mean I feel like I struggled a little bit at the plate, but I thought we had a great game, and we hit the ball consecutively," said senior shortstop Josey Hartman, an integrated studies major from Mapleton. DSU brought in runs on singles and with triples along taking advantage of the five fielding errors by NDNU. NDNU switched pitchers the middle of game one and kept the same pitcher into game two where the Trailblazers were unable to score until the fourth inning. "We hit the NDNU pitcher really hard at the end of the first game but didn't make great adjustments to start game two, hitting a few balls right at people," head coach Randy Simkins said.
