In the doubleheader, Rogers went 4-8 (.500) with a walk, three runs scored, two driven in, and totaled eight bases with two stolen bases.  In game one, a 4-2 win, Rogers was 1-2 with a walk, but his one hit was a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning (seven inning contest) giving the Trojans a 3-1 lead, which proved to be the insurance run the team needed.
 
In the second game, Rogers was 3-6 at the plate with a double and a stolen base in 6-5 win in 12-innings. He scored twice and drove in a run. His run was TNU’s first of the game in the fourth inning as the team trailed 3-0. In the bottom of the seventh (nine inning contest), Rogers RBI-single gave the Trojans a 5-4 lead, which they held until the top of the ninth when Cedarville scored and sent the game to extras.
 
In the 12th inning, Rogers reached on a fielder’s choice, but advanced to second on a single, then stole third base and scored on a game-winning single by teammate Tyler Tichenor.
 
On the season, Rogers is sixth in the conference with a .341 batting average, however his 30 hits rank third, while he is second with 25 RBI, tied for the conference lead with a pair of triples, and is third with 43 total bases.
