Jacob Deziel (Merrimac, Mass.) set the table for Mejia by going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and a RBI while senior Mitchell Lundholm (Plymouth, Mass.) was 1-for-3 with three RBIs. Sophomore John Batista (Lawrence, Mass.) and junior Victor Torres (Rochester, N.Y.) each added a base-knock to account for all nine Fisher hits in the win.
The AMCATS were guided by a senior Nick Genatossio (Sutton, Mass.) solo shot in the second inning and RBI base-hits from fellow senior Noah Holland (Sandwich, Mass.) and sophomore James Powers (Folsom, Calif.). Sophomore Joe Dorman (Sandwich, Mass.) suffered the loss as he allowed three runs (all earned) on one hit while walking three and striking out two.
