Box Score BOX SCORE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT 5-INNING GAME. STORY DOES NOT REFLECT CHANGES

WATERVILLE, Maine  – Sophomore Jonathan Wilson (East Granby, Conn.) and freshman Zach Mooers (Winchester, N.H./Keene) each drove in three runs as the University of Southern Maine Huskies pounded out 13 hits, including four for extra bases, en route to a 17-4 win over the Colby College Mules Wednesday afternoon at Coombs Field. The game was called in the sixth due to poor weather conditions.
 
Wilson was 1-for-3 including a two-run triple, while Mooers was 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a pair of RBI sacrifice fly balls. Senior Jason Komulainen (Gorham, Maine) and junior Tom Vesosky (Colchester, Vermont) each had three hits, while sophomore Janek Luksza (South Paris, Maine/Oxford Hills) was 2-for-4 with an RBI.
