The scoring binge started quickly as the Jumbos put up four in the top of the first inning as senior CF Connor McDavitt and junior LF Cody McCallum were hit by a pitch before junior SS Matt Moser singled to left to score McDavitt. Freshman 3B Tommy O'Hara then took a 3-2 pitch over the right field wall for a three-run home run and a 4-0 lead.
The Jumbos matched that four-spot in the second inning as sophomore RF Oscar Kutch started with a double to right and sophomore 2B Tom Petry followed with a triple to centerfield. McCallum reached on a fielder's choice to score Petry to lead 6-0. Later in the inning senior C Bryan Egan singled through the left side to plate Moser and McCallum for an 8-0 advantage.
In the third, Petry and McDavitt singled through the left side to start the inning before McCallum laced a double to the left field corner to score both. After two outs, Egan doubled to right field to score McCallum for an 11-0 lead after three.
In the fifth, McDavitt started with a walk and scored as McCallum took an 0-2 pitch to left field for a double to lead 12-0.
Starting pitcher Andrew David earned the win throwing six innings and allowing three hits with seven strikeouts. Charlie McQuinn, Matt Rothstein and Rory Ziomek combined for four strikeouts and two hits in the final three innings.
Egan was the leading hitter going 3-for-5 with three rbi, while McCallum was 2-for-3 and drove in four runs to help lead a 15-hit Tufts attack.
