Junior Brandon Williamson pitched eight strong innings, allowing one run on six hits, and striking out six.

After the Cougars took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third on a RBI single, the Patriots evened the game after Freshman Duncan McAlpine singled through the right side, scoring Junior Jason Krizan who had reached on a single of his own. DBU added another run later in the inning after Senior Travis Meiners scored on a bases loaded walk by Junior Ryan Thompson.

Still trailing 2-1 in the top of the ninth, the Cougar rally began after Cody Bartlett reached when he was hit by a pitch. The Cougars followed with a single and a walk to load the bases with no outs. Derek Jones then delivered a three RBI double to clear the bases, and give the Cougars the 5-2 win.

The Patriots will be back in action tomorrow, March 18, as they welcome the Lafayette Leopards to Patriot Field. The first pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
