In the first game, the Chargers struck for three runs in the first inning and added single runs in the third, fourth, and sixth innings. In Game 2, Gordon College posted a first-inning run, but the Chargers knotted the score in the fifth and pulled out the victory in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI double by Ferro.
