Glens Falls increased their lead to 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth when Hooper was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded forcing Oscar Rodriguez (St. Thomas) home.
Glens Falls gave themselves a little breathing room in the bottom of the fifth. Vieth led off the inning with a single and advanced to third on a Victor throwing error, and came around to score on an RBI single by Rodriguez to make it 3-0.
Meanwhile, Glens Falls starting pitcher Tyler Ehlers (Colorado Mesa) was hurling a gem. Ehlers went the distance in this seven inning game, giving up just two hits, while striking out five and walking two to earn the shutout victory.
Victor pitcher Peter Lannoo (Cornell) also went the distance and pitched well despite taking the loss. Lannoo scattered six hits, giving while giving up three runs, two of which were earned. He struck out four, while walking just one.
