In the opener, Matthew Johnson's 2-run homer in the second put Wooster ahead to stay and the Fighting Scots went on to win the contest.
The score was tied at 1-1 going into the bottom of the fifth in the nightcap when freshman third baseman Scott Wise (Delaware/Hayes) singled.

Senior righthander Sean Speed (Cincinnati/St. Xavier) went the distance on the mound for the Bishops.
