Statistically, Alfonso Aguilera had a team-high two hits with one of those being a double. Bryan Paez hit a solo home run for the Yellowjackets' lone run of the game.

GAME 2 (L 11-2)

Peru State took a 3-0 lead out of the gate in the first inning. Graceland got two of those runs back in the top of the second, but Peru State responded by scoring three again in their next at bats. The Bobcats pulled away with more offense late in the game including four runs in the sixth inning.
