Brown went 2-for-3 in the game. Chad Gartland, seeing his first action this weekend since suffering a season-ending ankle injury on April 3^rd, fanned two and worked a scoreless seventh for the save. Logan Peters drove in Hunter Kendall with a two-out single through the left side of the infield to pull Seneca within one at 2-1 in the third. Chris Mattoon tossed two scoreless innings in relief for Seneca. Seneca's Zac Judson put on a defensive show.
