Sweep Completed at Aquinas

Jonathan Rodriguez led the Racers' offense with three hits, three RBIs, and a run scored. A three-hit, three-run performance by Junior Gomez was capped by a pair of doubles and a stolen base. The offensive attack was led by a balanced day at the plate as 10 UNOH players got a hit while 11 put a run on the board.

Austin Bueter (1-0) recorded the victory on the mound through 5.1 innings pitched, allowing just two runs and striking out seven batters.
