They were able to hold the Gators scoreless in the bottom of the ninth to pick up the big win.
- UCLA continues to struggle mid-week as they lost in 11 innings to UC-Riverside 5-4. Leading the Highlanders was Ryan Goetz who went 1-3 with two RBI and a run scored.
- One of the teams that has been on absolute fire lately has been the Cal-State Fullerton Titans. They crushed Pepperdine at Goodwin Field by a score of 13-3. Carlos Lopez led the offense by driving in five runs in a nine run fourth inning. The victory as the Titans ninth straight and 13th in their last 14 outings.
- The Ragin Cajuns of Louisiana-Lafayette picked up an impressive 2-0 victory over Rice behind the strong pitching of Jordan Nicholson who gave up seven hits in six shutout innings.
