Owen Coady (1-0, 3.77 ERA) got the start, and went four innings, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks.

The bullpen was superb, putting in five scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and walking three.

Hungate (6-0, 3.22 ERA) relieved Jay Woolfolk with one out and the bases loaded in the eighth, and got out of the jam with a pair of popouts.

Henry Ford was 2-for-5 at the plate, and Eric Becker produced a two-run triple in his three trips for the ‘Hoos (32-12, 13-10 ACC).
