In part two, SMCC continued its spell from the dish pushing across one run on a RBI delivered by first-year Ian Westphal in the third. Junior Amos Herrin (Wilton, Maine) found success going 2-2 with a pair of base knocks. First-year James Parisi (Rockport, Maine) made his third appearance on the road trip tossing three innings before junior Nathaniel Cyr (Freeport, Maine) came on in relief.
