Game One Recap:
The Wolves touched up Houghton starter Chris Gross for three runs in the first inning off a pair of walks, two hits and an outfield throwing error. 
 
Gross would settle in and allow one hit and one additional unearned run over the next 5.1 innings of work.
 
Trailing 4-0 in the fifth, a Willan Armes double, and a Qingyang Feng homerun in the sixth would cut the deficit to 4-2.
 
After Keuka extended their lead to 5-2, Tobias Waldridge doubled in the eighth and scored on a Feng groundout.
 
The Highlanders rallied in the bottom of the ninth, plating one to cut the Wolves' lead to 5-4, but with runners on first and second, Keuka's Brandon Wilson induced a game-ending groundout.
 
Lucas Gilbert picked up the win for the Wolves, tossing six innings, while allowing four hits and one walk, striking out eight.

The Highlanders jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first and Aiden Talcott put up four straight zeroes.  But the Wolves scored one in the fifth, another in the sixth, and three in the seventh to take a 5-1 lead.
 
A Christian Tortorici double in the bottom of the seventh cut the lead to 5-2, but Keuka tacked on two more in the eighth. 
 
A Willan Armes double in the bottom half of the inning put the score at 7-3, but Houghton could not rally further.
 
Ryan Schur picked up his second win of the year, allowing only two hits and one earned run over five innings, striking out four.
