Morton broke the game open in the second with seven runs.

Sam McCully delivered a two-run double to center field, driving in Mayson Aslinger and Ty Bachman to make it 10-4.

McCully led the Wildcat offense, finishing 1-for-3 with three RBIs and a double. Charlie Hanks was a bright spot at the top of the order, going 2-for-4 with a triple and two runs scored. Jack Steidinger and Drake Rumps each added hits for West.
