Kean (21-15, 7-8 NJAC) evened the score in the second as Brian Cole lofted a bases loaded sacrifice fly scoring Matt Krupa who reached on a leadoff single.

The Scarlet Raptors then took the lead for good in the third, all with two outs.  Jones delivered a two RBI triple and would later score on a balk.

Krupa was 2-for-4 in the loss for Kean.  Theckston finished 2-for-4 with three runs scored for RUC.
