RECAP: Delta College found its rhythm at the plate in the nightcap, racking up 11 hits, but they couldn't overcome a late-inning surge by Mid-Michigan. The Pioneers kept the game within reach early on, highlighted by a two-run first inning and a consistent offensive push through the middle frames. However, defensive miscues and a tough seventh inning for the pitching staff allowed the Lakers to pull away.
