The Blue Streaks loaded the bases with two outs on a walk from Rob Cifelli and an infield single from Bobby Sabatino. David Crowley drew a bases loaded walk to drive in the first run of the frame. Tyler Gentile and Mark Huddle then hit back-to-back two-run singles to left field.
 
The Blue Streaks broke the game wide open in the fourth pushing the lead to 9-0. Schriner was at the start of the rally again leading off the inning with a double. James Molnar picked a good time for his first hit of the season ripping a single to center. With two outs, the middle of the lineup came through again. Gentile drilled a two-run double to left field and would come in to score in Huddle's single up the middle.
 
Baldwin Wallace scored its first run of the game in the fourth. Trent Kaltenbach drove in Eric Murphy with a two-out single.
 
John Carroll scored its final four runs of the game in the eighth. The Blue and Gold did all of their damage with two outs. David Lykens laced an RBI single to start the scoring.

Six-Inning Rain-Shortened Game

Gentile reached on an error with Sabatino coming in to score on the play. Crowley scored the third run of the frame but the Yellow Jackets were able to turn a double play in the process.
 
The JCU diamond men tied the game at four in the fifth. Crowley and Gentile drew back-to-back walks with two outs. Huddle punched a two-out single through the right side to bring in Crowley.
 
BW responded with a 10-run fifth inning and a four-run sixth to open up the 18-4 lead.

Crowley led JCU at the plate. The junior went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and an RBI.
