Harford's bats were stumped by Bryant and Stratton starter Ryan Andrzejczk, recording just two hits while striking out 13 times. The Fighting Owls best chance to score came in the top of the second, loading the bases after Andrzejczk walked three of the innings first four batters. Back-to-back strikeouts eventually doomed Harford's threat, and Andrzejczk cruised the rest of the way for the win.

Bryant and Stratton improve to 3-7, while Harford falls to 1-1.
