After that the Yellow Jacket hitters took over.

After getting just five hits in the series opener the Jackets collected 30 over the next three games.

Sunday the WVSU pitchers also jumped in with Josh Falbo throwing six hitless innings and Curtis Johnson allowing just just one bunt single in the seventh inning.
