The Florida Memorial University (15-9, 4-5 TSC) chased the Bobcats starting pitcher, Kordel Henriquez out of the game forcing the Bobcats to use their bullpen early in this game.

Edgard Aparicio would continue to deal from the mound. In the top of the 4th inning the Bobcats would get to Aparicio, scoring 1 run on 4 hits but that is all that Aparicio would allow. He got out of the inning and returned in the 5th inning, dominating.
Edgard Aparicio would pitch a complete game, allow 5 hits, surrendered zero walks, and struck out 9 batters to earn the victory for the Lions.
