Keli'i Price led Westminster with a 1-for-4 performance, while Braden Eye also had a hit and reached base twice. Sam Alles and Beno Ballard each contributed with a walk, but the offense was limited to just four hits throughout the game.
On the mound, Jack Page (3-4) went the distance for Westminster, allowing three runs on nine hits, striking out four, and walking one. While Page kept his team in the game, he was outdueled by MUW's Landon Clark, who threw a complete game, giving up just one run and striking out seven.
