Joe Burch picked up the win with six innings of quality work on the mound. Burch struck out eight and walked just one. He allowed only four hits.
In game two, TLU jumped out to a 4-0 lead with four runs in the top of the first. Cole Irby and Motsinger each had RBI in the first frame.
Southwestern countered with three runs in the bottom of the first and two more runs in the second.
The Pirates withstood a three-run TLU seventh by scoring two runs in the seventh to take an 11-8 lead.
