Down by one run, New Orleans was unable to capitalize on a leadoff triple in the 8th by Gaige Howard or a leadoff double in the 9th by Salo Iza. Both of those threats ended with three consecutive outs.
In game two, UNO flew out of the gate with a five-run first, capped by a three-run homer from Houston transfer Blake Way. The Privateers rode that all the way to a 6-3 victory, using a bullpen game highlighted by winning redshirt freshman pitcher Austin Acree's three scoreless innings.
