The Bearcats were no-hit for five innings but only trailed 2-0. In the sixth, they collected three singles and plated a run on an RBI infield hit by graduate first baseman Freddy Forgione.

Binghamton had another good chance to score multiple runs in the eighth. Senior outfielder Zach Rogacki led off with his sixth home run of the season to make it 3-2. An ensuing hit batter and 1-out walk put two runners on but a groundout and infield pop-up left them there. UML scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the eighth to close the scoring.

The Bearcats were held to five hits - four singles and the solo HR. Five players had one hit each and Binghamton stranded eight on the bases. 

Gradaute starter Ryan Packard worked 5.0 innings and scattered five hits and three runs. Sophomore reliever Jake Dally pitched two scoreless frames.
