HOW IT HAPPENED, Game 1
= Adrian outhit Olivet 14 to five.

= Leading 4-1, Adrian blew the game wide open with five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Resto had a two-run single to center field, and Hayes hit a bases-clearing double to left.   

= The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard in the second with two runs on six hits. Sophomore Tristin Richardson hit a RBI-triple to right field and Darnell had an infield single to first base to bring him in.

= The Comets scored their lone run in the top of the fourth inning. Junior Gomez hit a two-out double off the wall in right field, then scored on the next play when Dugan Dieselberg singled to center.

= Adrian added to its 2-1 lead with another pair in the fifth when Rainey hit a ground-rule RBI-double to right and junior Chad Paddock produced a RBI-single to center.

HOW IT HAPPENED, Game 2
= Hanley struck out the side during Olivet's top of the 10th inning to set the tone for Adrian's walk-off win in the bottom half. Adrian loaded the bases on a Hayes single to center and two intentional walks. Mazur pinch-hit for Resto and drew a walk on a full count after seeing eight pitches in his at-bat, forcing home Hayes with the game-winning run.
