The Rhodes Lynx came out swinging against Wisconsin Eau Claire, putting up 3 in the bottom of the first off of RBI hits from Ben Wilson and reigning SAA Player of the Week Wood Kimbrough. In the second, the Lynx continued the damage. Sophomore Mick Arney collected his first hit as a Lynx and later scored on a Sac Fly by John McNair. Then, Malcolm Rohlfing doubled over the head of the center fielder, scoring Wood Kimbrough from second. 

Jaxon Cady got the ball in his first start of the year and tossed a solid 5 innings, giving up only 5 hits and 2 runs (1 unearned), while tallying 8 punchouts and walking 0. 

Wisconsin scratched across a few runs, closing the gap in the score, but a clutch double from Wood Kimbrough gave the Lynx a critical insurance run. 

John Fears continued his reliable start to the season, pitching two and two-thirds innings, only giving up a run. 

Noah Roland came out of the pen in the ninth, closing the game with no runs, no hits, and two punchouts.
