"I am excited for the boys today," said Corban head coach Derek Legg. "They came out and competed all day long. UBC is a very good baseball team, and our boys were able to make the most of our opportunities today. Looking forward to getting out there tomorrow with another opportunity to play this great game."

Game one on Saturday was back and forth from the start, as UBC struck first with two runs in the first frame, but the Warriors responded immediately with two of their own in the bottom half of the inning. RBI singles by Ethan Bragg and Drew Loera in the second frame put the Navy and Gold up 4-2, and eventually it was a 6-3 lead headed into the fifth.

Again, however, the Thunderbirds bounced back and eventually tied the game at 7-7 in the seventh inning.

Corban exploded in the eighth with six runs to surge ahead of UBC, highlighted by RBI hits from Josh Ebert, Daniel Freiburger, and Jarett Thoren.

The Navy and Gold then promptly closed the game out in the ninth to earn the team's second win of the series, this time by six runs. Ebert finished 3-for-3 at the dish with two RBI and four runs scored, while Bragg and Freiburger both tallied a pair of hits, with Freiburger racking up three RBI.

Earning the win in relief was Austin Holmes, as he went two innings, allowing just one hit and no runs.

In the defeat, Mitch Robinson led the way at the plate for the Thunderbirds with a 2-for-4 performance and a long home run.

Game two was more of the same for the Warriors, as they continued the momentum into the series-clinching win. Corban's aggressiveness on the base paths led to three runs in the second inning, two more in the fourth and one in the fifth.

Leading 6-1 in the sixth, the Warriors piled on six more runs, resulting in the seven-inning domination of UBC.

On the mound, Connor Mattison was outstanding, going the distance while allowing just three hits and two runs, neither of which were earned. At the plate, Bragg finished 2-for-4 with two RBI in the triumph, while Freiburger went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. In addition, Brock Myklebust went 2-for-3 with one RBI in the win.

Corban (16-10, 6-1 NAIA West) and UBC will finish out the four-game series on Sunday at Volcanoes Stadium. First pitch of the final game is slated for 12 p.m. PST.
