It was a battle of the bullpens, as both teams went to relief pitching in the second inning. The Lancers' relievers won out, as they held the Aggies to just six hits and three runs over the final eight innings.
Seth Mattox earned the win in relief after he threw a team-high 2.2 shutout innings in which he allowed just one hit and struck out three. Jared Villalobos also threw two scoreless frames for CBU.
