Anthony Paniagua and DePhillip Mason also batted in runs in the 2nd which helped the Bobcats build a quick 6-0 lead in the first two innings.

For the rest of the game the Bobcats defended their 6-point cushion well. The Lions scored 2 more runs but the Bobcats answered with 3 more runs themselves. Kelvin Colon finished the game in a non-save situation and did not allow a hit over 2 innings.

With this win the Bobcats boost their overall record to 19-20. They will have a chance to get back to .500 tomorrow night at home against Barry University at 6:00 PM.
