Bats started churning in the next inning for Cody Piechocki\u2019s ballclub as<\/span> Blake Dunn (Western Michigan)<\/b> reached on a bunt single and scored one batter later thanks to the first RBI and double by new Growler, <\/span>Ryan Marra (Brown University). <\/b>Marra would then score two batters later on an RBI single from <\/span>Trent Quartermaine (Ball State)<\/b>. Quartermaine was driven in by Sammons to cap off the three-run inning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mac Daddies took one more in the fourth on an RBI single by Doug Propson (Kalamazoo College).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More offense was generated in the bottom half by back-to-back walks by Dunn and Marra. Quartermaine then singled to load the bases. Dunn scored on a sacrifice fly by Barrera and two more runs were scored on a single by<\/span> Ben Van Cleve (Ole Miss)<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wargolet (1-0) picked up his first win on three innings, four hits, one earned run and five strikeouts.
