After LVC tacked on two in the third on a wild pitch and a single by second baseman Dylan Holland, the Bears scored the final two runs of the game in the sixth as Guthridge scored on a wild pitch and freshman catcher Kevin Wilson (Brunswick, Maine/Brunswick) singled home senior designated hitter Tommy Clarke (Whitehouse Station, N.J./Hunterdon)
