The Cubs won 6-3 and 10-8.
Caden Vink was 1-for-1 with a triple and two runs scored. Blake Ellis doubled with an RBI. Conner Sallee picked up the win on the mound in relief of Garren Goodner. Sallee pitched three innings allowing a run and striking out six.
Asher Hart doubled and drove in two in the nightcap. Goodner singled, had an RBI and a run. Cole Mathews earned the win in relief of starter Hart. Mathes threw 1 2/3 innings, allowing two runs and striking out three. Kyler Isbell recorded the final two outs to pick up the save, with a strikeout.
“Our JV did some really good things in very windy conditions,” head coach Mike Miller said. “It was good to see our guys battle back after falling behind in the second game to pick up the win.”
