HOW IT HAPPENED
After silencing the Ashland bats for the first two innings, Assumption starting pitcher

The Hounds made three errors in the top of the fifth, which led to four more runs and pushed the Ashland lead to 10-0. Assumption got on the board in the bottom of the fifth, as
Cody Smith's fly out to left field was deep enough to score
Owen Podolec from third. The Eagles added an insurance run in the top of the sixth, which made the final score 11-1.
Jack Barry was one home run shy of a cycle, as he went 3-of-4
