Braxton Rupp kept the pressure on in the 5th by bringing in Adam Weber with a RBI-single to left field.
Greensboro then forced a pitching change in the 7th after Carrick again singled to bring in two more runs, then Devin Summers hit a 3-run big fly to make it 11-1 for the Pride. 

Greensboro handed NC Wesleyan's starting pitcher, Derrick Carter, his first loss of the season, as the Pride pounded the Bishops for 14 hits, including a 3-4 day from both Morales and Summers, and Drake Carrick, Braxton Rupp, and Luke Pegram each turned in a two-hit day as well.

Game two saw NC Wesleyan jump out to a 2-0 lead before Braxton Rupp's RBI-double in the 4th cut the lead in half at 2-1 for NC Wesleyan.  Drake Carrick brought Rupp around to score on a RBI-single, which tied things up. 

The Bishops then took control in the 6th inning with four runs on four hits, including a RBI-double from Jackson Hobbs to push the lead to 7-3 for the Bishops.  They would get four more in the 8th and tack on two in the 9th in the 13-4 victory.
