PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. - Junior Brian Streilein pitched five scoreless innings with five strikeouts and the Blue team evened the Villanova Fall Classic with a 10-6 victory on Wednesday afternoon in the second game of the series.

Streilein left with a 9-0 lead behind two hits apiece from senior Joe Rosati and Wesley Borden. Junior Justin Bencsko and freshmen Cuyler Esposito and Nick Hellmuth also had two hits in the win.

The Gray team rallied in the bottom of the sixth inning with five runs off of Will Hebard but eventually left the bases loaded to end the inning. Sophomore Dain Hall was at the plate with the bags full and just missed a potential bases-clearing double before popping out on the next pitch.

Sophomore Chris Pack pitched four innings and allowed seven earned runs for the Gray squad.

For the third time in eight years the Wildcats intra-squad series will go to a decisive third game. The Blue team will be the home team for Thursday afternoon's finale and will send freshman Tom Tesauro to the hill to be opposed by junior Kevin Crimmel from the Gray team.
