Winning pitcher Colin McKee went the distance for Mercyhurst, allowing three hits in seven innings of work. Of the three runs scored against McKee, two were earned. He recorded 11 strikeouts and five walks.

The Lakers got on the board in the first inning on a two-run homer by Alonge and led the rest of the way. Latona had a two-run home run during the Lakers' four-run fourth as MU went up, 7-0. Cox had a two-run single in the seventh.


Game Two: Mercyhurst 13, Indiana 0

Also for MU, Hank Morrison had a home run and three RBI. Balego and Elliott scored two runs apiece. Latona drove in two runs.
