In Game 1, the Bobcats managed only three hits and were blanked in seven innings, the third time the team was shut out this year. The 3-0 win for Owensboro put them briefly in second place. Marion starter Kyle Tokunaga (1-3) went the distance, giving up only four hits, but the three runs he allowed were more than enough with Owensboro's staff shutting down the Bobcat offense.
At the place, Cody Kottich doubled and Landon Weitekamp and Cody Schmitt singled for Marion.

In the second game, Marion retook second place by percentage points with a 4-3 win. Down 3-2, the Bobcats came within three outs from being swept, but an error in the top of the last inning allowed two runs to cross for the eventual win.
Weitekamp and Taylor Banks started of the seventh with back-to-back singles and scored on a ball put in play by Desmond Roberts. Banks was 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Weitekamp scored Marion's other two runs.
On the mound, newcomer Jeremy Jansen (1-0) earned a win in his first appearance, limiting the Oilers to only three runs on 10 hits. One of the runs was unearned.
