HOW IT HAPPENED: CBU jumped out to an early lead after an RBI triple from Josh Paino in the top of the second inning. The Lancers added two more runs in the top of the third with a two-run home run from Dusty Garcia before the Rebels brought in a run on an error by CBU's pitcher in the bottom of the frame. CBU increased its advantage to 8-1 going into the top of the eighth before plating their final run off of a solo home run from Michael Carpentier. The Scarlet & Gray added one more run in the bottom of the ninth with an RBI single from Pimentel for the final margin.
