Highlights
 
- Cincinnati handed No. 1 Louisville its first loss of the season with a 6-3 win over the Cardinals. It was the first time the Bearcats have ever beaten a No. 1 ranked team. Cincinnati scored four runs in the second inning to take a 5-1 lead and control of the game. Kyle Mottice led the Bearcats with two hits, two RBIs and a run scored.
 
 - Memphis swept a two-game season series with No. 11 Ole Miss with a walk off win after a single from Trent Turner in the 11th inning. Turner had both RBIs for the Tigers and Memphis got a stellar start from Jonathan Bowlan who went 8.1 innings only giving up one run while striking out eight in a no decision.
 
- Houston took down No. 15 Louisiana Lafayette behind a complete-game shutout by Trey Cumbie. Cumbie (3-0) only allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five batters. Connor Wong led the Cougar offense going 3-for-5 with a run scored.
 
- Isaac Feldstein’s two-RBI single in the top of the ninth gave UConn the 7-5 win over Central Connecticut. Freshman Anthony Prato went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBIs for the Huskies.
 
- A solo home run from Logan Heiser in the top of the 11th was the winning run for UCF in the Knights 5-4 victory over Bethune-Cookman. Heiser’s only at -bat on the night was paired with Heiser throwing out a runner trying to steal third in the bottom of the 11th for the final out of the game.
 
- Travis Watkins drove in six runs, including a grand slam in the second inning to guide East Carolina past Elon. Watkins went 2-for-5 at the plate and also scored two runs for the Pirates.
 
- USF won its 19th-straight game in comeback fashion boosted by a four-run seventh inning capped off by David Villar’s three-run home run. Villar’s only hit on the night was his fourth home run of the year. Garrett Zech finished 2-for-4 for the Bulls, driving in a pair of runs.
 
- Jarret DeHart went 3-for-5 with four RBIs and a home run for Tulane as the Green Wave cruised past McNeese State. Hunter Williams, 3-for-5, finished a home run away from the cycle, drove in a run and scored three runs for the Green Wave.
