How It Happened (Game 1)
Penn got two runners on base in the early goings of the first inning, one by way of a Connor Chavez leadoff single and the other on a fielder's choice that put Baker on and kept Chavez over at second on an error. Wyatt Henseler, on a 1-0 count, blasted his 13th homer of the year over the left-field fence to give the Quakers a 3-0 lead.
 
Cole Zaffiro got off to a grand start to his outing, retiring the Yale side in back-to-back innings with a strikeout.
 
A two-out, RBI single for Ryan Taylor in the top of the third inning added a fourth run onto the Quakers' lead.
 
Yale got onto the scoreboard to begin its third inning, on a solo homer to left field trailing 4-1.
 
In the top of the sixth inning, Calvin Brown extended Penn's lead to 5-1 on a sacrifice fly, bringing home Jarrett Pokrovsky.
 
The Bulldogs scored a second run in the seventh on their own sac-fly, trimming the Penn edge to 5-2.
 
With two outs in the eighth, Gavin Collins doubled to left field and Brown walked to set up a two-run double to right-center field for Asa Wilson, putting the Quakers back up, 7-2.
 
Yale got one back on a two-out RBI single in the eighth and scored again in the ninth on a leadoff solo homer, but Carson Ozmer shut the door with three consecutive outs to seal the 7-4 win.
 
How It Happened (Game 2)
After pitching retired the Penn side in order to begin the first inning, Yale got right to work with the game's first run, a two-out RBI single off Ryan Dromboski to take a 1-0 edge.
 
The Quakers were retired 1-2-3 in the second inning, while Dromboski set the table for a big third inning by striking out two Bulldogs in the second.
 
After Calvin Brown singled to right field (and stole second base), Asa Wilson delivered a one-out single to right to tie the game at 1-1. Two batters later, Davis Baker drilled a two-run homer to extend the advantage to 3-1.
 
Dromboski continued to carve through Yale's order with two more punchouts in the bottom of the third inning and did the same in the fourth, striking out the leadoff hitter and getting the third to ground out into a double play.
 
Chavez delivered a two-out, two-run homer in the top of the fifth to push the Quakers' lead to 5-1.
 
Yale picked up two runs in the fifth inning against Dromboski on a single and a sac-fly to make it a 5-3 game.
 
Penn scored a run in the sixth on its own sacrifice fly, as Wilson flied out to center field with the bases loaded, scoring Gavin Collins to double the lead, up 6-3.
 
Starting his sixth inning on the mound, Dromboski walked the first two batters he faced and eventually surrendered three runs to tie the game up at 6-6 before Thomas Shurtleff relieved him and retired the final batter of the inning.
 
After Wyatt Henseler was hit by a pitch and Ryan Taylor doubled to right field to begin the seventh inning, Penn got yet another tally on a Collins sac-fly to re-take a 7-6 lead.
 
Shurtleff left two Elis on base in the bottom of the seventh to give the Quakers an opportunity to tack on insurance runs in the eighth inning. Consecutive hit-by-pitches to Wilson and Chavez set up a two-run double to right field for Baker to give the Quakers a 9-6 cushion. Back-to-back walks loaded the bases for Collins, who flied out to left field to end the frame.
 
Eli Trop, in relief of Shurtleff, pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings to earn his second save of the season and help the Quakers polish off the doubleheader sweep.
