In game one, the Saints pushed across an unearned run in the bottom of the first. Hillsdale tied the game in the top of the fourth and went ahead on a double in the sixth inning. The Chargers tacked on a key unearned run in the seventh inning before the Saints tried to rally late. Yoonjae Nam doubled to right field and took third on a ground out. He scored after an error by Hillsdale but the Saints were unable to get the tying run into scoring position. Steven Reynolds took the tough loss as he gave up just two earned runs.
 
Hillsdale scored two in the top of the first in game two but the Saints responded with five in the home half. Cody Klotz walked and took third on an error by the Chargers. With two aboard, Zach Ruckman pulled a single through the right side of the infield to tie the game at 2-2. Nam singled, and Mitch Carriger had an infield single to push the Saints ahead 3-2. After a sac bunt put Nam and Carriger into scoring position, they both scored on a wild pitch that bounced away for a 5-2 lead.
