With a 4-1 lead, the Suns were in cruise control from the get go.
Offensively, John Kinne (Columbia University) went 2-for-3 with two runs batted in in clutch situations. Both of Kinne's RBIs drove in a run with two outs in the first and fifth innings. Frank Crinella (Merrimack College) continued his hot hitting with his third consecutive multi-hit game, going 2-for-5 with a run scored.
Sidearmers Tom Hackimer (St. John's) and Adam Whitt (Nevada) shut the door on the Titans by pitching the final three innings of the game. Hackimer and Whitt only allowed two hits while striking out four.
