In the opener, the Chargers scored at least one run in the first four innings to coast to a 7-0 victory. Justin Martin led the way with a 3-for-4 effort at the plate, while teammates Sean Gavin and Tyler Stotz chipped in two each.

Shane O'Donnell-Leach was tagged with the loss after going four full innings. He allowed four earned runs on six hits while fanning three and walking five. Sam Matthews and Robert Trucott had one hit each for Lyndon.

In the nightcap, the Hornets grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third on a run-scoring single by Nick Gale. Tyler Pelletier got aboard with a one-out single and moved into scoring position on a single by Trucott. Gale followed with a single up the middle to give Lyndon its first lead of the day.
