The Dolphins responded by scoring four runs over the next two innings. Deljanin had an answer again in the seventh inning. The freshman hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Mercado and pick up his fourth RBI of the game. Two batters later, Angelo Alessandro singled to drive in McCabe, who had doubled earlier in the inning.
