  • Flores smacked a single through the left side and Will Henson and Carter Richey loaded the bases with a hit-by-pitch and walk, respectively
  • The trio advanced on a wild pitch for the Rams' first run of the game before Jimenez roped a two-run single into right field to score a pair, cutting the Tigers' lead to 10-3
  • Princeton added one more run in the fifth inning before being held to just one hit for the remainder of the contest by Frers and Coston
  • Sean Swenson reached on a dropped fly ball and Lee doubled him in for the Rams' final run of the game
