The Johnnies scored five times in the first inning and twice more in the second to take control early in game two.

Sophomore catcher Dylan Johnson had two hits to lead BVU which tallied six overall. Sophomore lefthander Dylan Johnson got the start on the mound for the Beavers but was chased after just 4.2 innings where he was tagged for seven runs and seven hits and four walks. Wes Weakes pitched a perfect 1.1 innings of relief with one strikeout while Drew Camman came on and worked the final two innings.

Buena Vista is 2-3 on the year and will look to win the series on Saturday afternoon with first pitch of the single nine-inning game set for noon.
