Garry again stepped up with another 1-2-3 inning in the seventh which allowed the Huskies to take the lead in the bottom of the seventh as they batted around. Maler, Karl and Dale Brannon each had singles before Austin Wasserman hit a two-run triple that gave the Huskies their first lead at 13-12. Matt Untiet followed with an RBI single for the fourth run of the inning to make it 14-12.
"We battled as a team," Farkes said. "You never believe you are out of a game, especially in the first inning. Once we started getting base runners we were just plugging away."
However, CCSU would not go away without a fight. They scored one run off Garry in the eighth, but left the bases loaded when Brown flew out to Maler in center. In the ninth, Matt Karl relieved Garry and walked the first man he faced, but Taha grounded into a double play. Karl hit the next man, but Schillaci struck out swinging to end the game.
Garry improved his record to 3-1 as he got the win, while Karl recorded his second save.
"This was a really good win," Penders said. "It was the kind of game that will put you in an early grave, but it was a great come from behind win. We took it one pitch at a time and didn't panic."
