Campbellsville 1, St. Ambrose 0 (10 inn.) - Box score
The Bees dropped a pitchers' duel 1-0 in 10 innings to Campbellsville. The two teams combined for 13 hits with the Bees collecting six. Kane Klais allowed just two hits over six scoreless innings. St. Ambrose had its chances, leaving runners at second and third in both the sixth and ninth innings. In the sixth, Zach Hart and Greg Wymer drew walks before moving up on Tommy Goodale's one-out ground out. But David Gonzalez flied out to right to end the threat. Then in the ninth, Goodale ripped a one-out double to right and Gonzalez was intentionally walked. Andrew Barreto's ground ball advanced the runners but Matt Baldwin's line drive was caught by the left fielder. SAU escaped a jam in the ninth as the Tigers loaded the bases with one out but a double-play ball erased the threat. But Campbellsville got the win an inning later.
