Andrew Possi led off with a double, and Matt Tempone picked up a one out walk giving UMD runners on first and third.  Robbins got the second out of the inning with a strikeout, but Kustigian connected on a three-run home run to put the Corsairs ahead 3-0.
  • UMD made it 4-0 in the bottom of the third on an RBI double down the left field line from Devyn Vezina following a lead off single from Brett Baker.  With a runner on second and no outs, the Huskies bounced back as Robbins forced a fly out, and the got Possi to line out into a double play to end the inning.
  • After the third, Robbins kept the Corsairs off the board for the remainder of his appearance.  The Huskies had a runner in scoring position in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh inning but were unable to push a run across. Maher helped strand seven runners. Robbins closed out his appearance with a one-two-three inning in the bottom of the seventh on back-to-back fly outs and a ground out to second base.
