Junior right-handed pitcher Dalton Rentz got the start and went 4.2 innings while giving up no runs and only two hits. However, in the fifth inning, the Tigers switched to redshirt junior Justin Camp who threw for 3.1 innings.
Camp would be awarded the win, while junior Trey Wingenter would get the save coming in with one inning left.
The game stayed even at 0-0 through the first four innings, but in the fifth, sophomore catcher Blake Logan scored off of a sacrifice fly ball from fellow sophomore Damon Haecker.
Sophomore Anfernee Grier and Daniel Robert scored in the sixth inning following a double to center field by redshirt sophomore Kyler Deese.
