Assumption would score in the first inning for the second straight game, but would be held relatively silent by Ravens’ pitching for the rest of the afternoon.
The Ravens’ would take a 4-1 lead in the forth inning, finishing with a two run double by junior Derek Ingui over the center fielder’s head. Ingui would get another RBI in the sixth inning, along with a two run single by senior Phil Hendricks, which would lead to a 9-1 Ravens lead.
Senior Heath Wayslow would enter the game in relieve in the second inning, and pitch a solid 6.2 innings to pick up the win. Wayslow gave up only 4 hits and one run in his outing. Wayslow also set a career high in strike outs with 13 in those 6.2, topping game one starter Brian Maloney, who reached that number in nine innings pitched earlier in the day.
