Christian Seelhorst (Slippery Rock) picked up his first win of the season, throwing one and one-third relief innings, allowing no runs on no hits while recording a pair of strikeouts.

The Bull Moose offense got a huge jolt from Ben Teel (University of Montevallo), who went 4-5 with three RBI and two runs scored. He picked up his first RBI of the day the hard way when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the top of the sixth.
