Ben Grams took over for Kummet with one out and one runner on in the 7th inning and easily worked out of the jam before giving the Eagles only run in the 8th inning. Eric Hagen relieved Grams in the 8th and worked the rest of the way without allowing a hit. The win improved Kummet's record to 6-0 on the season tying him with junior Keith Ritsche and junior Mark Moriarty of the team lead in wins.
