Two outings later, he got the start against Chapman in the College World Series and suffered a hard-luck no-decision in a 3-2 BVU loss after going a season-high 6.2 innings, allowing only two runs and striking out one as the team was just one of four teams left competing for the national title.

He went eight innings in each of his first two outings, combining to allow only two runs and striking out 13, en route to a pair of victories. He picked up his third win of the year when he pitched a complete-game at Nebraska Wesleyan and struck out a career-high nine without issuing a walk. He finished the year with a team-high four complete games and was tied for the lead with two shutouts. His first shutout came in his first start of the year with the second coming when he allowed just one hit and struck out five against the University of Dubuque. His 56 strikeouts tied for the team lead and ranked fifth in the league.
