Freshman pitcher John Prendergast started the second game for the Bombers, giving up five runs during seven innings. Sophomore pitcher David Jasukonis and freshman pitcher Andrew Sanders pitched the final two innings. The Blue and Gold had a consistent day as seven batters registered multiple hits, led by sophomore second baseman Jeffrey Mathers and junior catcher Corey Caswell, who had each had three hits.
