Junior Mitch Monke (Springfield, Ohio) pushed his record on the mound to 3-3 with a game one win as he allowed one earned run on five hits in five innings of work, striking out three hitters.

Sophomore Steve Chamberland (Bristol, Conn.) cruised in a complete game effort in the nightcap. Chamberland retired the first 11 hitters he faced, as he worked five perfect 1-2-3 frames in the game to move to 2-2 on the mound. Chamberland allowed one unearned run in the seventh inning while he struck out four without issuing a walk.

Junior Mike Cunningham (Syosset, N.Y.) reached base in seven of 10 plate appearances on the day for the Rams, collecting four hits and three walks while scoring five runs and driving home four.
