Sonandres keyed a four-run sixth inning as well as his three-run homer to left center scored sophomore Teddy Schoenfeld (Boulder, Colo.) and sophomore Kennan Gumbs (New York, N.Y.) to make it a 7-5 game in favor of the Pride.

- First-year Ajinkya Gundaria (Alpharetta, Ga.) is now 0-1 on the season as he took the loss in relief, while Michael White moves to 1-1 with four innings of one-run pitching in the start.
