McDaniel (6-0) was able to maintain its unblemished record thanks to senior starting pitcher Marty Windisch (2-0) who threw seven scoreless innings where he allowed five hits, walked two and struck out five. Fellow senior pitcher Ben Van Put pitched the eighth inning and freshman D.J. Biscoe finished out the final inning to preserve the shutout victory for the Green Terror.
Gallaudet (3-10) had a runner on third in the fourth and fifth innings, and two runners on in the seventh inning; however, the Bison failed to capitalize on the scoring opportunities.
McDaniel scored a run in the third, fifth and the sixth inning off Gallaudet junior starting pitcher Ian Evans (Murphy, N.C.) who pitched 5.1 innings and kept the game close before being replaced by senior reliever Albert Blake (New Derby, Conn.).
Blake gave up four more runs (two earned) in the eighth inning. Junior Ken Genztke (Scottsville, N.Y.) pitched the final inning, recording his first collegiate strikeout on the first batter he faced.
Sophomores Dylan Hayes (Endicott, N.Y.) and Kyle Gumm (Dallas, Texas) accounted for four of Gallaudet's six hits in the game, including a triple for Hayes and a double for Gumm.
