Sophomore Mick Terzi (Wallingford, Conn.) picked up his team-high second victory of the season with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings of relief. With the game tied, 1-1, senior Jeff St. Pierre (Milford, Conn.) hit a single, which drove in senior Alex Beland (Trois-Riviere, Quebec) in the bottom of the sixth to put the Eagles ahead for good.

Senior Mike Shada (Holtsville, N.Y.) leads the team in hits thus far with 12 hits on the season and is sixth in batting average in the CACC, hitting at a .364 clip.
