  • The Owls responded with a sacrifice fly in the bottom half of the same inning to extend their lead to three runs.
  • In the top of the eighth, Elmore led off with a double and advanced to third after Harris grounded out. With two outs, junior Daniel Scolaro (Quincy, Mass.) stepped up to the plate and drove Elmore home with an RBI single to left that made it 6-4.
