Freshman SS Bill Munson led the Lynx offensive attack going 3-5 at the plate with two doubles, two RBIs, and scored twice. With the victory, Rhodes improved to 5-3 on the year.

Thomas Beamish took over for Glauben in the second, and scattered 6 hits over the next seven innings, walking three and striking out three. Sophomore RHP Blake Harrell finished off the game for Lynx, allowing one hit and striking out two in his lone inning of work.
