How It Happened
- The Greyhounds posted four runs in the top of the first frame starting with junior shortstop Mason Fisher singled to right-center field that scored sophomore outfielder Matt Madigan to put the Blue and Grey up 1-0. Senior first baseman Brett Moyer followed with a two-RBI double that went off the left-field wall and senior left fielder Elias Engelhardt singled to right field to drive in the fourth run of the inning
- The Greyhounds extended their advantage in the top of the second inning when junior second baseman Chris Pow flew out to center-field for a sacrifice fly that plated senior right fielder Robert Roman to score their final run of the game
- Neumann scored their first run of the night in the bottom of the fourth inning, then tacked on two runs in both the fifth and seventh innings to knot the contest at 5-5.
