Yaremko gave up just two hits and did not allow a run in five innings of work, finishing with four strikeouts.

Oscar Acevedo led the Saint with a pinch-hit two RBI single in game one, while Taylor Digilio went 3-for-5 in the second game with a run scored and an RBI. Evan O'Keeffe and Anthony Butler both finished 2-for-4 at the plate in the nightcap.

Bryan Rubin went 3-for-3 and had a team-high three RBI for Vassar, while Evan Trausch finished 2-for-4 with a game-high three runs scored.

In the bottom of the seventh, Acevedo pinch hit for Digilio with two outs and two on, as rookies Henry Day and William Montgomery moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Acevedo singled to right to bring both in to score the Saints only runs of the game.

In the third, Vassar took a 5-3 lead with the help of two hits and a walk, as the Brewers pushed the first run across with a sacrifice fly to right field before a double to center brought the second to the plate to put Vassar in front for good.
