\n\tLooking to post back-to-back victories in conference play against the Bobcats, the Green and White were inside their home building.
\n\tDespite falling behind in the early portion of the middle game of the three-game series, the bottom of the third featured Guriyandel Salva<\/a> driving home Ryan Lordier<\/a> from second with a single to left center to tie the game at one.
\n\tIn the top of the seventh inning, the Jaspers continued a down-the-stretch pitching gem by retiring the side in order with relief pitcher Hudson Pergamit<\/a> entering the game, to continue the streak of retired batters at seven.
\n\tOn the flip side for the Jaspers, Lordier opened the inning with a leadoff infield base knock. Then, the shortstop moved up two bases on two separate errors by the Bobcats’ defense.
\n\tAfter Payton Matthews<\/a> struck out swinging, Salva sent a base hit through the right side to bring home Lordier for the game’s winning run.
\n\tPergamit continued to remain dominant for the Green and White by retiring the next six Bobcats to seal the one-run victory over Quinnipiac to win the series.
