  • Harrison Waxley ballooned his on-base to 12 too, grabbing a team-high three hits in five at-bats (.600) which included a double plus an RBI and a run scored.

   

  • Jayden Drake came on to stop the bleeding after the Rams scored four in the seventh, finishing out the game with 2.2 scoreless innings where he walked no one in addition to striking out three.

 

  • Logan Bertucci did not start the day, replacing Gabe Spedale in the field before recording a pair of hits, an RBI double on top of a single.

 

  • Hunter Gotreaux reached thrice in nine frames, once via a single, once on a walk (the only one by LCU), and once courtesy of a hit-by-pitch to go along with one RBI and one run apiece.
