The team relied heavily on Channing Wilt, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. Hampshire is 2-1 when Wilt posts three or more hits, but 6-11 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Landon Whitacre, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.
