The senior captain was locked in, allowing just three hits, one earned run and four walks to go along with three strikeouts. Nowlan lasted five innings before handing the ball over to sophomore Eric Lietch, who struck out three batters in two scoreless innings of relief.
Six different players had at least two hits for the hosts, while 10 different batters collected at least one RBI. Seniors Kevin Agostini and Brandon DeCelles led the way with two hits, two runs scored and three RBI apiece. Agostini was particularly impressive, reaching base all four times he came to the plate. Nowlan, sophomore Sean Houston and classmate Eddie Dufur each knocked in two runs each for the Mounties, who next play against Drury at Joe Wolfe Field on Wednesday afternoon. Gametime is scheduled for 4:15 p.m.
