Lenoir's pitching staff featured several young talents, including Brandon Warren, Carson Krasula—who earned the win—Thomas Gurr, Dawson Ables, Colin Wyant, and Jarrett Hall.
The Lancers now look ahead to a road trip to Virginia, where they will face Richard Bland College (5-15). The teams split the first two games in Kinston, setting the stage for an exciting rematch.
