With five Border Cats contributing multiple runs Thunder Bay’s own Carter McEachern (Trinity University) lead the way with three runs and two RBI’s. Alan Baldwin (University of Hawaii) produced two runs and three RBI’s, while Matt Batten (Quinnipiac University), Jared James (Long Beach State) and Grant McKown (Florida Tech) also put up double digit stats.
