Ben Gardner led off the DePauw first with a double an extended his string of games reaching base to all 22 this season. Rob McPike followed with a single to right center which scored Gardner and gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead.

In the fifth, Tigers catcher Sam Swafford reached on an error before Jason Cohen was hit by a pitch and Alex Wright singled to load the bases. Robbie Stein then cleared the bases with a triple to left center.

Franklin didn't advance a runner to third until the ninth inning and only placed five in scoring position throughout the game.

DePauw totaled eight hits led by Garner's two. Scott Windler had three of Franklin's nine hits, while Nick Stoia added a pair.
