Vore led the top of the seventh inning off with a double down the left field line, followed by a Jochems walk, and two batters later Thomas Dean drew a walk to load the bases with one out. Binger then singled through the left side, scoring Vore, followed by a two-rbi single from Blacksher as SBU cut the UCO lead down to one at 6-5.
