Junior Garett Robberts hit a two-run homer in the second inning to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead. Senior Matt Littrell and sophomores Dillan Smith, Austin Eifrid and Zach Franz all had extra-base hits in the game.
Junior Carson Mittermaier led the Eagles with three hits, while Littrell, Smith, Robberts and freshman Michael Haley had two hits apiece. Robberts drove in four runs, while Haley, Franz, Littrell and sophomore Logan Moss each added two RBI.
The bullpen combination of senior Ryan Curtis, junior Josh Smith and senior Chris Slavik each tossed an inning of relief.
