Gavin Swanson singled to lead off the frame and advanced to second on Andrew Haberern's walk. He scored on a sharp single to right off the bat of Freshman Ryan Thomas and Haberern scored two batters later on a perfectly executed safety squeeze by Junior Jon Chirumbolo.
The Buff squad tacked four runs in the top half of the third. Bryan Hwang finished 2-2, leading off with a single and scoring on Thomas' two RBI single and later singling home Thomas.
