The Wildcats got their only run of the game in the fourth inning when Mark Riendeau drilled a two out double to left field and was driven home by Parsons to give LC the 1-0 lead.
 
Senior right-handed pitcher Brennan Russell, who missed the entire 2013 season with an arm injury, shut the door in the ninth inning, as he struck out Steer pinch hitter Jay Lowe looking with the bases loaded to pick up his first career save.
