Fazio was pulled after walking a pair of Bearkats in the sixth, but he allowed just one run on three hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. Considering he opened this game with an ERA of 67.50, his performance represents a giant leap in the right direction. Back slaps all around.

Mark Haynes allowed one inherited runner to score, but stifled the rally. Owls 7-1 in the sixth.
