In the nightcap, Anthony Goncalves was three-for-three and Andrew Yasinski had a double and a triple.

After Wilkes answered with four runs in the bottom half, the Cougars cut the lead in half in the top of the second. Yasinski ripped a two-out double and came around on Tuttle's single.

Trailing 7-2, the Cougars plated three runs in the top of the sixth. Jasinski and Tressa reached on back-to-back one-out singles and scored on a triple by Yasinski.
