In the first game, CAU's Ceontae Brandon went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs to lead the Panthers to a 12-4 victory over KSU. The Panthers had three four-run innings – in the second, third and sixth – to control the game in which Brandon doubled in two runs in the third. Jordan Johnson also had a hit that drove in two runs and scored once himself.

On the mound, pitcher Anthony Nettles struck out five to earn the win.

The two wins are the third in the last five games for CAU.
