UWF led 7-0 after two innings. Matthew Jones went deep as the second batter of the game to set the tone for the Argo offense. Matt Sullivan joined him with a two-run blast in the second, and Dylan Menhennett joined the party with a two-run homer of his own in the fourth.

"I'm just glad again that we came out ready to play tonight," said Jeffcoat. "Always when you can get a W, you've got to take it for what it is and respect the game and be happy you came out and gave it your best."
