• Oswego added runs in the second and third innings, with Tim Schinto drawing a bases loaded walk and freshman Jacob Levine coming in on a passed ball.
• In the eighth, first baseman Ryan Weiss singled home senior Myles Felton who reached when hit by a pitch and moved into scoring position with a steal.
• Van Fossen (1-0) was cruising through five having faced the minimum amount of batters, and then pitched his way out of a bases loaded situation in the sixth.

• An Enos sac fly, Lauria RBI-single and Felton walk with the bases packed would extend the lead to 7-0.
