Behind the plate, Chance posted a batting average of .583. Chance went 3-for-5 on the Day 1 of the series, with three RBI in his first collegiate start. Following with that he had his first collegiate home run and hit two-run blasts down right center. 

All weekend, Chance remained strong behind the plate, and during the second game he picked up a career high with four RBI's, with those he had three RBI singles and a bases loaded walk. 

To finish out the series Chance ended ended out Day 3 with seven hits, one home run, and a double, four scored runs and a pair of walks.
