MU added four runs in the fifth.  Adam Concadoro drew a lead-off walk and went to third on Abate's one-out infield single.  Holzapfel was hit by a pitch to load the bases and Weisensee singled with two outs to drive in a pair of runs.  Lyons followed with a two-run double to right center for a 6-0 lead.

After FDU answered with four runs in the bottom of the fifth, the Cougars tacked on two insurance runs in the seventh.

Santo Guinta singled to center to open the inning and moved to third when Smith reached on a two-out error.  Smith stole second and Guinta came home on an error on the play.  Boylan followed with a single through the left side to make it 8-4.

The Devils got one back in the eighth, but Melahn pitched a scoreless ninth to close the game.
