Norwich answered in the seventh when David Pengel (Northeastern) reached on an error, and Jake Howlett (Monmouth) advanced, leading to two unearned runs scoring on throwing errors. CJ Nolan (Sacred Heart) then doubled home Pengel to give the Sea Unicorns a 3-1 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
Matthew Donovan (Roger Williams) was excellent, tossing 5.2 shutout innings. Michael Crowley (Assumption) and Neil MacKinnon (Brown) couldn’t hold it in the seventh. MacKinnon took the loss.
