Cedarville'sfirstloss was from Findlay College, 12-5. Committing eight errors, the Jackets were unable to support Judy, their second year pitcher. With Cedarville leading 1-0 in the eight, a highly-favored Xavier University team handed the Jackets a 9-0 forfeit for their third victory. A protest by the Xavier short- stop and refusal by their coach to continue halted the game. Townsley held the losers to two singles.

The University of Dayton gained a 9-8 win with Brooks going allthe wayfor Cedarville. Marcus Townsley struck out seventeen but Cedarville dropped a ten inning contest to Wilberforce State 1-0. Morehead State put on a late rally to defeat the Jackets 7-5 with Judy on the mound. Revenge over the University of Dayton came in the next contest with the Jackets trampling U. D.'s Flyers 10-2.
