Xavier baseball split a pair of seven-inning outings on Friday at Hayden Field, falling 4-1 in game one, then bouncing back to even the series with a 5-1 win in game two.
Trevor Olson got the start in game one, striking out a career-high nine in 4.2 innings of work but the Flyers took a one run lead in the third and pushed it to a 4-0 advantage with a three run homer in the fifth. Xavier got a run back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI by Andrew Walker brining in Garrett Schultz, but were unable to pull any closer.
