Missouri Western outfielder Brady Holden drove in the two earned runs in the second inning, bringing in Bishop Leblond alum William Dryburgh and Rob Butler, extending the lead to 4-1.  

Holden also scored the first run of the game on a fielding error in left field.

The Mustangs are now 30-14 overall, 28-14 in MINK league play, and will now head back to Phil Welch Stadium for the final four games of the regular season.
