Games 1-4 were an epic roller coaster of a battle with Baruch putting on an impressive serving and blocking display. The Slugs answered back with scrappy defense posting 35 digs. In game 5 the Slugs would not be denied. The Slugs went on to close out game five with an unstoppable offense hitting .545.
