Designated hitter Jacob Wrubleski (Okotoks, Alta.) and Kadyn Williams (Emporia State University) also contributed two hits each for the Dawgs.

On the mound, Zane Morrison (Campbellsville University) started and allowed two runs in four innings before the bullpen took over. The Dawgs used six different relievers on Sunday. Trent Wartsler (Emporia State University) picked up the win after tossing a scoreless eighth. Seth Thompson (Calgary, Alta.) then held the Giants off the scoreboard in the ninth to record the save.
