Game 1: CSUSM 22, Coyotes 12

Game 2: Coyotes 14, CSUSM 2
The Coyotes returned the favor against the Cougars, scoring a season-high 10 runs in an inning (second) and never looked back with ace Konner Arnold on the hill.
 
CSUSB sent 14 batters to the plate in the second, and were guided by Ceniceros' two-run homer to right, and Shawn Porthan's bases-clearning triple.
