He also finished 2-0 on the mound, with victories over Valparaiso and Akron in the final game of the series. He posted a 2.35 earned run average with 11 strikeouts.

Plesac threw a complete game against the Zips in the first game of the weekend series, a 4-1 victory. He had seven strikeouts and allowed no earned runs or walks against the MAC East Division leader.
