  • The Cougars added to their lead in the fourth inning. Herschberger ripped an RBI double before Glenn Miller blasted a two-run home run – his first of the season.
  • The Lancers got back in the game with three runs in the sixth and another run in the seventh. However, Herschberger tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth to secure the win.
