Lucas Barnes, Trevor Pierce, Aiden Whetstone, Cadon Clark, and Seth Zimmerman each had RBIs in the frame.
In game 2, the Salthawks only trailed 5-4 going into the 7th, but they let the Bulldogs score 3 runs in the top of the inning to take control of the game. Seth Zimmerman and Gabe Welch all contributed for Ark City in the big inning with RBIs.
Kinser Newquist , Lakin Franz , Caiden Beavers, Carter Morgan, and Jax Heneha each collected one hit each to lead Hutchinson Salthawks in hitting.
