In the opener, the Bison grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the first on a pair of RBI groundouts by junior Alex Montalto (Wilmington, Mass.) and sophomore Austin Martin (Cranston, R.I.). The Seahawks got one back in the bottom of the inning while senior Justin Collett led off with a double and scored on a double by junior Riley Diaz.

The Seahawks took control of the game in the third, scoring three times to take a 4-2 lead. Senior Will Pearce doubled home sophomore Charles Matarazzo to tie the game at two, and three batters later, junior Sean Sullivan plated Pearce with a groundout to third base to give SRU a 3-2 lead. Sophomore Brandon Bursie followed with an infield single that scored sophomore Brendan Tapley who drew a walk earlier in the frame, to make it 4-2.

Sophomore Patrick Quinn went the distance to earn his third win of the season, allowing five hits and two runs while striking out five. Senior Tom Bozek (Westfield, Mass.) took the loss for Nichols, allowing 10 hits and four runs over six innings.
