Kevin Moran (BC) came in and threw one strong inning of relief in the eighth before Dallas Gallant (Sam Houston)closed out Brewster in the top of ninth, striking out two in the process.
The Mets would not got down with out a fight though, as Tyler Thornberg (Charleston Southern) issued a lead-off walk to Johnny Ruettiger (ASU), which was followed by a Ryan Cuneo single, and a sacrifice bunt by Harrington to move runners into scoring position.
