Game 2 Box Score
 
KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – The Truman Bulldogs and McKendree Bearcats split the first two games of their Great Lakes Valley Conference series on Saturday. Truman took game one 8-6 while the Bearcats doubled up the Bulldogs 12-6 in the nightcap. The teams will play the rubber game on Sunday at noon.
 
Game 1 Recap:
Five Truman pitchers were able to get the job done with Mason King closing the door for his first career save in Truman's 8-6 win in the opener.
 
Brian Edell had a double and scored in the second and Ethan Kleinheider walked and scored on an RBI single by Reid Wilson in the third for a 2-0 lead.
 
Truman sent nine hitters to the plate in the fourth with Steven Bradbury driving in two of the four runs on single to left.
 
McKendree got through in the fifth scoring three times and knocking starter Connor McKenna out of the game. Josh Woodmansee got the final two outs with two runners on base.
 
The teams exchanged runs in the sixth with Adam Cox homering for McKendree and Evan Kayser doubling with Bradbury bringing him in on a hit to right center.
 
King singled in a run in the seventh but the Bearcats got out of the jam by turning a double play to end the inning with the bases loaded.
 
McKendree threatened in the ninth as the first two reached. Jacob Mertz struck out Corey Chambliss for the first out but Dan Davis summoned King from centerfield to attempt the save. King got his first out on a strikeout but then allowed a double to bring up the tying run. King got Cox swinging to end the game.
Game 2 Recap:
McKendree grabbed a 5-0 lead before Truman tried chipping away. 
 
Steven Bradbury belted a two-run homer in the fourth and the Bulldogs stranded the bases loaded in the inning.
 
In the fifth, each team exchanged four runs each. The big blow for McKendree came from Andrew Aydt with a three-run homer while Truman got a homer from Brian Edell and a two-run single from Kleinheider.
