RECORDS: Penn State Greater Allegheny (32-8), Illinois Tech (24-9)
LOCATION: War Memorial Stadium - Hampton, VA
HOW THEY SCORED:
- Due to the great defense by both teams neither team was able to get more than one hit per inning until Greater Allegheny was able to get two hits in the top of the seventh.
- In the bottom of the seventh inning, Illinois Tech had the bases loaded with just one out. Andrew Lamki made it to first on a fielder's choice. However, it was at the expense of his teammate Michael Malf who was thrown out at home plate. The next batter, Kyle Bumpass, was able to make contact with the ball and bring home the game winning run.
BEHIND THE BOXSCORE:
- Penn State Greater Allegheny tallied up seven hits in the game with Fancisco Del Rio getting two hits in his three trips to the plate. Eddie Emes pitched six and two thirds innings and gave up four hits while striking out six.
- Illinois Tech only had four hits in the game but had the most important one of the day which gave them the win. First baseman, Shane Pung, went two for two this afternoon and the Scarlet Hawks tied a tournament record today with four double plays.
