STATS OF THE GAME:

Seay capped his day with an RBI on a fielder's choice in the seventh inning.
• Dorrian torched home runs in the fifth and sixth innings, taking a hanging breaking ball over the fence in right-center field in the fifth to tie the game at 7-7 before launching a solo shot the following inning.
• Jake Rouse chipped in with two hits on the day, driving in a run and scoring once. The senior's two-out infield single in the third inning scored Shayne Fontana to push Lynn's lead at the time to 4-2.

• The win made it back-to-back days with victories over a ranked opponent, a feat the Fighting Knights accomplished twice last season.
• Lynn had three players with multi-home run games last season, though no two players reached the milestone in the same game.
