Junior Matt Fullerhad a career day at the dish, going 2-for-5 with three RBIs. Juniors Ben Davis and Kyle Carl each had two RBIs to contribute to the scoring.

The Mustangs (2-6) jumped out to an early lead in the first, scoring four runs after two extra-base hits. McDaniel got on the board in the bottom half of the inning but Stevenson would maintain the lead until the fifth, when the Green Terror rallied to tie the game.
