Fredo and Grube went onto single later in the bottom of the second, driving in Alex Mendes and Nick Fleming respectively. A wild pitch scored Grube and a Mateo Zeppieri batted in Fredo off of a single. A double steal spurred on by Zeppieri eventually scored Rudisill as the freshman took Homeplate. Another five-run outing occurred in the bottom of the fifth and six runs came in during the bottom of the seventh. Fleming sent out a solo shot in the bottom of the sixth, hitting the scoreboard in right field while the senior was in his home run trot.
