West Georgia stretched its game-two lead to 7-1 with two more homers in the top of the third, Anthony Calabro had a two-run blast and Logan Fink followed with a solo shot. Both were the third big flies of the year for both Calabro and Fink.
 
Brayden Lyman drove in his fifth run of the twinbill with a two-out double in the bottom of the first inning in game two. Gavin Rogers chased Kyle Vogler on a fielder's choice in the bottom of the third to cap Tiger scoring in game two.
 
Vogler collected five hits over the two games, including his second home run of the year, and drove in two runs in the opener. Jake Nemith chipped in four hits in the doubleheader.
 
Wortham, hitting .400 coming into the doubleheader, had five hits for the Wolves and drove in five runs over the two games. Anthony Calabro and Sam Ladner had three hits each for the Wolves in the first game, including Ladner's seventh homer.
 
Wolves starter Robert Coleman (1-1) worked six innings, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out six for the game two win. Ronny Piepmeier worked the final inning for his fifth save. West Alabama starter Peyton Warren (3-5) was charged with the loss, allowing seven runs on five hits.
