Durfee went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBIs while Zens went 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
Peyton Smith had two hits and drove in two runs while Jed Schmidt had two hits and Jordan Gau had two RBIs.

Mount Vernon, who did score six of its eight runs in a matter of two innings, was led by Briggs Havlik, going 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and three RBIs. Chase Hetland drove in two runs while Cameron Deinert recorded two hits and Spencer Neugebauer scored two runs.
