American International 4, Bentley 3 (7 innings)

In the first contest of the day AIC held off a late Bentley rally in a seven inning game.

Trailing 4-1 in the top of the seventh the Falcons threatened to tie the game before AIC escaped with the tying run on third.

With one out and runners on second and third, an RBI groundout by Jake Maydak scored Jimmy Mitchell to make it a 4-2 game. After a walk to Tommy Bolton, a sacrifice fly by Berardino scored Chase Mendela to make it 4-3. However, AIC was able to get the third out to escape with the victory.

In the fourth inning, Stan DeMartinis III clubbed his 17^th home run of the season. That puts him just two away from tying Mike Hill's program records for homers in a single season (19) and in a career at Bentley (43).
