W: Danny Wilkinson (3-3) L: FLAMM, Lane (1-3)
CINCINNATI, OH - Xavier baseball had to fight from behind today, and after overcoming a 4-0 deficit, they couldn't take the lead. Villanova put forth a steady diet of one-run and two-run innings to outlast the Musketeers and set up a crucial Game Three tomorrow afternoon.
Villanova scored first with two runs in the second inning, and they scored another two runs in the third. The Xavier bats came alive in the bottom of the third, scoring four runs behind a Jerry Huntzinger home run, his third-straight game with a long ball, and an Andrew Walker single and Garrett Schultz sacrifice fly.
