FORKS TOWNSHIP, PA - Wade Rikert's two out, sixth inning grand slam turned a 5-2 Vermont deficit into a 6-5 advantage from which Lafayette could not recover, dropping the game 9-5.

The Lafayette bullpen, however, could not maintain the lead, allowing seven earned runs in the final four innings.

Freshman Matt Tambellini went three for four with an RBI and two runs scored, as well as making his Lafayette debut on the mound. Andy Kumming notched the win for the Catamounts, while sophomore Dan D'Allesandrotook the loss for the Leopards.
