As a team, the Pioneers had 4 hits, led by senior Adonis Thomas who was 2-3 from the box. Junior Clay Burgess and Sophomore Brylan Honeycutt each added a single for the Pioneers. Freshman Lawson Graff took his third loss of the season, tossing 2.2 innings.

Junior Conner Boan avoided the no-hit outing from Missouri Baptist with a 2-out single in the top of the third. Sophomore Parker Gordon took the loss, going the distance and surrendering 6 runs on 9 hits, walking 2 and striking out 4.
