CINCINNATI, OH - Behind the power of Jack Housinger and the arm of Jack Lynch, Xavier withstood the Bearcats attack and came out on top this afternoon. For the second-straight game, Xavier had their hands full with UC, but ultimately came away with an 8-7 victory. This marked the first of Xavier's 24 games in which the first team to score five runs did not go on to win the game.
The bats were hot on a chilly day in Cincinnati. The Bearcats started the scoring with a sac fly in the first, but Xavier immediately answered with a Housinger RBI double to tie things up.
