• Furman answered in the bottom of the fifth with two scores to tie the game at 4-4.

Two batters later, Cloney plated Indeglia on a groundout to put the Crusaders ahead by two runs (6-4). Later in the frame, Critelli crossed home on a single by sophomore Cam O'Neill (Lynn, Mass.) to make it a three-run game (7-4).
