Cumberlands answered with Luis Hernandez singling to center field and Jose Reyes delivered a double to deep right-center field to spark the bottom half of the inning. Stone Osborne then grounded into a 5-3 fielders choice to score Hernandez but Robertson shut down the Patriots for the remaining 19 outs he was in the game.

CU added one in the third inning, with what was the eventual game-winning run. Allen started the inning with another leadoff single and went on to steal second base. Torres was intentionally walked and Alex Kline moved Allen to third base with a fielders choice. Kline then attempted to steal second base but Allen was also taking off from third for a double steal to score.

Cumberlands attempted to fight back in the final inning. The Patriots picked up two hits off closer Logan Truex but the southpaw from San Ramon, Calif. ended the rally with a pop up. Truex went 2 1/3 innings for his MSC leading sixth save.

Allen, Torres, Garrett Everhart all delivered two hits in game one with Scott and Torres picking up the Tigers' only RBIs.

In the series finale, CU played small ball to get on the board in the fourth inning. Torres led off with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Kline. Scott then delivered a RBI-single to right field putting the Tigers up 1-0. Scott came around to score the eventual game-winning run on a misplayed ball by Osborne for the Patriots.

The Tigers added another run in the fifth with a little help from Cumberlands. Gentry Kinsella reached second base on a routine ground ball to Jesse Reyes but his throw sailed into the Patriots dugout. Kinsella stole third base and scored on a Torres double.

Torres was a home run away from the completing the cycle for the two games today.
