Senior RHP Joe Straka went the distance on 86 pitches allowing three hits while striking out eight.  Straka also aided his own cause with a 2-for-3 day at the plate with two runs scored and a pair of RBI.  The No. 2 through No. 6 hitters in the Panthers lineup combined for three extra base hits, nine runs scored and eight runs driven in.

Levi Hargenrader highlighted the Dynamos offense going 1-for-2 with a double, and RBI and a run scored.
