After a scoreless first, the Bruins loaded the bases with one out on two singles and a walk in their 2nd. A deep sac fly made it 1-0, but a nice play by Wilhite at SS ended the inning with no further damage. Tech rose to the challenge in their 2nd, scoring two on singles by Serratos and Austin Wilhite and a sac fly by Michael Guldberg.
