The first game Southern Utah saw its bats heat up, Chase Rezac homered twice and Marcus Romero hit a grandslam; with SUU winning 11-5. The second game was a different story for the T birds though, their bats went silent, while Hawai'i Pacific beat them 4-0. To finish off the series SUU had one more game against HPO on Saturday, which they suffered their second loss 7-11. A positive note on the final game was that Tariq Staton went 3 for 5 with 1 rbi. The thunderbirds play UNLV on Tuesday March 6 in Nevada.

SUU held a 2-1 advantage throughout the majority of the final three innings, but the Sea Warriors came up with the game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth to extend game. Marcus Romero hit a leadoff home run in the following inning, but HPU battled back once again to tie the score at 3-3. Finally another RBI for Romero in the twelfth would prove to be the difference as SUU held on for the 4-3 victory. Strong pitching performances by Kelsey Outram and Chase Rezac for the Thunderbirds.
