Game 2: UVa.-Wise 13 – Concord 4
Two big innings from UVa.-Wise was too much for the Mountain Lions to overcome.

Keenan got Concord off to a fast start once again as he blasted a two-run homer to score Adkins in the first inning. After the Cavaliers responded with a pair of runs in the second inning, Adkins untied the game with his third home run in the last four games to push CU out to a 3-2 edge.

A Layne RBI triple plated junior infielder Chris Satcher and doubled the Concord lead in the fifth inning. But, UVa.-Wise overtook the Mountain Lions in the sixth with six runs, and the Cavaliers added five more in the seventh.

Adkins had the solo home run and was on base three times. Keenan drove in two runs.
