A three-run Griffin third inning would make the spread 5-1, as a pair of two-out beam balls came back to haunt the Devils bullpen. The Devils bats put one run on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fifth inning, but a one-out walk to sophomore center fielder Desmond Lites (Philadelphia, PA), a Latchum single to left field, and a Devils error allowed the first of three Griffin runs to score in the sixth inning, 8-2.
