Senior Brian Swanton started and gave up one earned run on four hits, walked three and struck out two in 5 2/3 innings of work. First-year Nick Ahearn then came on and earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out one.

MacPhee went 3-for-3 with an RBI in the opener, while Botelho finished 2-for-3 with a run driven in.

In game two, the Beavers snapped a 4-4 tie with five runs in the top of the seventh, with senior Trevor Boyce and first-year George Crowley each recording RBI singles.
