Monmouth experienced both ends of the spectrum Saturday at Glasgow Field, managing just two hits in a 6-0 Game 1 loss to Aurora, but bouncing back with 11 hits in a 12-5 win in the nightcap.
 
The Spartans touched starter Tyler McDonald for three runs in six innings after the senior had retired the first 10 batters he faced. A walk, hit and groundout in the fourth inning provided Aurora with the only run they would need as the Scots put just two runners on in the early game.
 
The Scots turned the tables in the nightcap, jumping on the Spartans for six, second inning runs. Harry Sanchez blasted a three-run homer in the inning and Matt Temaner added two-run shot in the fourth on his way to a 3-for-5, RBI day. Sanchez matched Temaner's RBI total, driving in his fourth run in the sixth. The offensive show made starter Conner Sharp a winner on the mound, working seven innings for his second win of the season.
