HOW IT HAPPENED: Nick Cardace got the offense going in the top of the first, driving in sophomore Luke Hohenstein and senior Justin Chasmar and later scored on a wild pitch to give the Knights a 3-0 lead.

Arcadia opened a 9-0 lead after the top of the second before pulling away with a six-run fifth that made it a 17-2 contest.
