NSU scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth in game 1 for a 5-3 win. The Spartans had the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh in game 2, but the Eagles were able to prevail in extra innings, 3-2.
Both teams ran their records to 2-2 on the year after they began their seasons with a doubleheader split on Saturday as well. The Spartans limited the Eagles to just nine hits on Sunday over the course of both games and had 17 themselves.
