In Game 2, Glischinski struck out the side in the first and recorded the first two outs of the seventh inning, before a single to center broke up the no-hit bid.

Junior Brady Foley and junior Dan Belliveau each had RBI singles in the fifth, expanding Northern's lead to 4-0.
In the sixth, sophomore Reed Allen reached on a throwing error that scored senior Tyler Deitering and senior Daniel Rodriguez.
Wilmington would score a run in the seventh and eighth, but sophomore Zach Maier got out of an eighth inning jam and picked up his first save.
The first game saw the Quakers jump on the board with a run in the first, but ONU responded with junior Derek Lenardos scoring a wild pitch to tie the game at 1-1.
WC jumped back in front 2-1 with a RBI single in the fifth.
The Polar Bears tied the game in their half of the fifth, with junior Anthony Piccolini hitting a single through the hole on the left side.
