Jared Hoffman and Jason Sanfilippo had two hits each and drove in a run while Connor McIlhenney scored twice.

Maryniak struck out six over five innings, but didn't factor in the decision.

The Cougars put their first two runners on in the top of the first, but left them stranded.    MU's Owen Cordner made a diving stop up the middle for the first out in the bottom the first, but the Giants took a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly.

Keystone answered with a run in the bottom of the third without hitting a ball out of the infield to go back in front, 2-1.

The Cougars pulled even in the top of the fifth.  Garrett McIlhenney was hit by pitch to start the inning and moved up on a sac before coming around to score when Bollinger rolled a double inside the third base bag.  Keystone strung together three two-out hits to regain the lead, 3-2.

Misericordia batted around to put together the game-winning rally in the seventh. Owen Cordner drew a lead-off and McIlhenney reached via HBP.  One out later, Bollinger lined a single to center to give the Cougars their first lead, 4-3.  Maryniak was hit by pitch and a double steal put runners at second and third.  Jared Hoffman lined a single off the pitcher's leg that rolled in to left field to plate two runs and give MU a 6-3 lead.  Hoffman raced around to score on Jason Sanfilippo's two-out double to left center.
