The Golden Eagles now fall to 24-11 on the year as Kean improve its record

The Cougars scored the first two runs in the home half of the fourth inning as Ryan Reitmeyer singled through the left side scoring both Andy Lopez and Sal Taormina.

In the bottom of the seventh inning Ryan Kelley came up to bat for Kean and doubled to left center to score Shayne Fontana for the 3-0 lead over SJC.
