  • Junior Bryan Gillen and Carew hit back-to-back solo home runs in the top of the fourth inning, before Cardace came in to score courtesy of a throwing error by the shortstop.
  • Up 7-4 after the fifth, the Scarlet and Grey tacked on three in the top of the sixth starting with Carew who scored as Cardace reached on an error by the second baseman. Two batters later, freshman Trevor Mattson joined the home run party with a two-run shot over the left field fence.
  • Gillen singled up the middle to score Ponente for the final run in the top of the seventh.
