The first game of the series did not go as planned for the Tritons. On the mound for the Tritons was Finn Daecher, with his first start of the season. GCU put pressure on the Tritons from the beginning of the game, scoring twice in the first inning. In the second inning, the Tritons would respond with their own two runs, thanks to a sacrifice fly by first baseman Dustin Jones and an RBI single by shortstop Makai Morisaki. However once again, GCU would score two more times in the bottom half of the inning. Two innings later, the Tritons would score one more time to bring the score to 4-3, but the game was put out of reach as GCU’s offense erupted for six runs. In the fifth inning, the Tritons could only record two outs before giving up three more runs and losing the game by mercy rule 13-3.  

The Tritons looked to bounce back in Game 2 of the series and they had the right guy on the bump to do so in Ethan Adamson, who has been the team’s most consistent arm. The Tritons would draw first blood as they scored a run in the top of the first inning, courtesy of a leadoff triple by catcher Tyler Geraty and a single to drive him in by third baseman Chris Haven. The lead would not make it out of the first inning however, as GCU would answer right back with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning. With the score being tied 1-1, the pitching on both sides began to settle in, as both sides were blanked in the second inning. However, in the third inning, it was GCU that blinked first as they surrendered another run as first basemen Finn Daecher hit the Triton’s second triple of the game, giving the Tritons a slim, one-run lead. Starting pitcher Ethan Adamson continued to shut down GCU’s offense after he was given the lead as he finished his brilliant outing, pitching 5 innings, giving up only 1 unearned run on 2 hits, striking out 6, and not walking a single batter. Although Adamson was out, the Triton’s brought out their closer, Caleb Galdston who continued the Triton’s dominant pitching as he pitched a perfect sixth inning. With a 2-1 lead going into the last inning, Galdston would collect the final three outs of the game, capped off by a sensational diving catch in center field by Curtis Faletti, giving the Tritons their first win over GCU in four years.

Following the big win, the Tritons and GCU would go toe to toe in the rubber match of the series. The Tritons used their momentum from the previous game to jump out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. The score would remain that way until the 3rd inning where both teams would trade blows, scoring one run a piece, bringing the score to 2-1 in favor of the Tritons. Starting pitcher Ethan Ou despite keeping the formidable GCU offense at bay for four innings, surrendered his first three earned runs of the season before giving way to the bullpen two-thirds into the fifth inning. With the score at 4-2 going into the top of the sixth inning, the Tritons manufactured a run with a walk, single, and a bunt single by center fielder Curtis Faletti. Two innings later in the eighth, fortune would find the Tritons again as a botched throw to home by GCU would score the tying run. With this momentum, the Tritons looked to etch out another victory. However in the ninth inning, their luck would run out as they were blanked in the top half of the inning and surrendered the winning run, losing in walk-off fashion. Despite the loss, the Tritons held their heads up high as they proved themselves to be a formidable opponent for anyone.
