- The Huskies extended their lead to 4-0 in the third with a three-run frame on four straight two-out singles. Jack Doyle singled to left field to score Cam Maldonado, who had reached on a fielder's choice. Gregory Bozzo then delivered a two-run single to left field, plating both Feinberg and Doyle.
