• Stillman managed a run in the fourth, but the home nine posted a three-spot in the fifth. Frank Grandinette and Miguel Ceballos each singled with the bases loaded, and Lynn went on top 7-1.
• The Tigers got a two-run homer from right fielder John McDaniel in the top of the sixth before a balk plated their final run two innings later.

• Lynn starter Donovan Armas pitched six frames, allowing three runs on five base hits while fanning seven.
• Mike McFerran and Rigo Beltran combined to allow one hit and whiff five over the final three innings.

Game 2

• The Fighting Knights plated two in the opening frame of the finale when Curtis hit his second dinger of the weekend.
• Stillman evened the score with another longball from McDaniel in the fourth inning.
• Lynn moved in front for good in the bottom half when centerfielder Alex Turner left the yard for the third time this season.
• Ryan Donovan and Jonathon Corbitt each added insurance homers in the sixth to put the Fighting Knights up 6-2.
• Right hander Jaret Vermillion picked up the first victory of his Lynn career after tossing 4.1 innings and allowing two runs.
• Jonathon Wake got out of a jam in the fifth and ended up tossing a scoreless frame.
• Payton Smith was the final man out of the Lynn bullpen, earning his second save of the season after recording the final four outs.  

QUOTABLE:

• "We faced some tough arms with outstanding breaking balls this weekend, and they made it tough for our hitters. We were able to capitalize on some mistakes, but I wouldn't be surprised if Stillman wins their conference. Our guys stayed behind each other and picked each other up all weekend. They are learning to play together and figuring each other out, and we stuck to the plan. With conference play opening next week, we have to stay focused and find ways to make each other better."– Lynn head coach Rudy Garbalosa
