The visiting Ravens bounced back in the second game to capture the program's first win against Cairn.

Freshman Nick Fratangeli came into a first and second no-one out situation in the 7th and allowed just the one run to score. Fellow freshman Collin McCarron pitched a scoreless 8th and struck out one batter. Finally, sophomore Shane Lennon moved from third base to the mound to pitch a 1-2-3 9th inning to secure the win.

The other two senior captains had great games as well. Bobby DiDonato had two hits, a walk, and scored three times, while Nick Tanella made a sliding catch in right field in the 7th to keep the game close.

Head Coach Ross Trachtenberg had this to say after the game: "I am just so proud of our team for the way they came back after the first game, waited through a rain delay, and got a win on the road at one of the toughest teams in our conference. We played really well in all phases of the game, and it was a total team effort to take home this Game 2 victory."
