The big blow in the first inning occured when Joe Singraber hit the first of those three homers, a two-run blast to push the advantage to 6-0 following a two-run double off the bat of Tim Mackey.

Aurora tacked on a run in the second and stretched the lead to 11-0 with four third inning runs. Benedictine scored its first run of the game in the bottom of the third inning as Tom Higgins parked a two-out homer over the wall in right.

Down 16-1, the Eagles scored in each of their final three plate appearances. Jeremy Spears drove in a run with a pinch-hit single in the fifth. Nick Perry also posted a run-scoring single as a pinch-hitter in the sixth. Chris Wanderling plated the final run of the game for Benedictine with an RBI fielder's choice in the seventh.

Benedictine reached double-digit hits in the contest with 10. Tom Higgins and Jeremy Spears each recorded a pair of hits in the contest. 

AURORA 10, BENEDICTINE 1 -- GAME TWO
