The teams combined for 105 runs, with Redlands winning the first two games of the series by scores of 6-1 and 10-9.

The Nighthawks rallied to win both games on day two by scores of 21-12 and 28-18.

The split left Redlands with a 12-21 record for the spring and a 5-15 mark and eighth place in the NJCAA Region 2, Division 2 standings.
