Moore did not allow a base hit until the fourth inning off a blooper to right field by Johnny Pitt.  Derick Harvey would drop down a bunt single in the sixth inning for the team's second hit of the contest.  Moore would keep the ball in the infield for most of the game producing nine groundouts.  Moore would only allow six Vikings to reach base on two hits, errors and fielder's choice respectively.

Chowan would pad their lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a long ball from Drew Mason his third of the season.  The Hawks would post three more in the fourth inning.  William Ward would draw a walk to start the frame followed by a base hit to right field by Wiggins scoring Ward from first.  Wiggins would advance to second on the throw to the plate and later score on Tyler Burden's RBI single up the middle.  Burden would swipe second and third base and later score on a wild pitch taking the score to 6-0 where the score would remain.

ECSU's Cameron Cecil would pick up the loss dropping him to 1-2 on the season.  Cecil and Michael Duck would pitch three innings giving up three runs and two walks each. 
The nightcap started just like game one with the Hawks scoring first.  Catalano singled up the middle to start off the game.  Wiggins with a sacrifice bunt pushed Catalano to second.  Ryan Moore tripled to score Catalano for an early 1-0 lead.

Mazza would run into some trouble in the third inning allowing an unearned run to score.  Two errors in the inning and a run-down plated Lee Person to score from third.
Mazza would run into a jam in the sixth with the score tied at 1-1.  Robert Jacot's base hit, a walk by Tony Wiggins and a bunt single by Zac Vasko would spell the end for Mazza.  Carter Siweck would relieve Mazza throwing 1 2/3 innings allowing two hits and giving up one run.  ECSU's Corey Williams would single on a squeeze bunt to take the lead late 2-1.  Siweck would cut down Vasko at the plate trying to score on the pitch.

ECSU's starter Robert Krehel pitched a no-decision holding the Hawks to one run off three hits throwing five complete innings.  Ricardo Harvey picked up the loss dropping him to 0-1 on the season pitching one inning giving up four runs off two hits and three walks.

ECSU would plate a run in the top of the seventh to cut the deficit to 5-3 but the deficit was too large to overcome.  Siweck picked up his first win of the season.

Tyler Burden extended his hitting streak to eleven games on a base hit up the middle in game one and a blooper into right field in the night cap.  Burden had four stolen bases in the contest.  He finished the day at the plate going 3-7 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
