Eilers allowed only three hits and fanned 14 of the opposition en route to his sixth victory of the season. Center fielder Gary Musante collected three hits in the opener including a line shot over the left-center barrier. The Dons dropped the second affair 3-2 despite a fine pitching performance by Mike Barnhart.
