Senior John Dudek hit a tie-breaking, two-out RBI single to right in the top of the fifth inning and senior right-hander Nick Hohenstein pitched three scoreless innings to nail down a Colts win over the Cougars.
Hohenstein also split the left-center gap in the top of the third inning for a two-run double and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Andrea Dalatri.
Joe Kohm punched a two-run double to right-center in the bottom of the first to open the scoring and scored on an RBI single by Colts Neck starter Hunter Boag.
