After an early 1-0 deficit, the Pioneers plated six runs, including two that came on a Brad Milka home run and Hopson cleared the bases with a double in the third inning. A five-run seventh by UW-Platteville gave UW-Platteville its first win of the 2011 season.

Starting pitcher Justin Crotty went 5.2 innings, struck out five and gave up just four hits for his first win and Brad Kerkman pitched the final 1.1 innings for the save.

In game two, the two teams were tied at 2 going in the bottom of the sixth before Averett scored three in its half en route to a 5-2 win. Offensively, the Pioneers had six-different players record a hit in the loss.
