Before the damage started, Reed Schlesner  (Miami University Commit) got into scoring position in the second inning by a heads up base running on a walk which he ran to first and then continued on going to second safely.  Ryan Altman started the rally by ripping a 2 run RBI single which gave them a 5-0 lead. A couple batters later Jacob Meyer hit a run scoring double which gave them the 6-0 advantage.
