In second game, Murphy's two three-run home runs scored the first six W&L runs en route to the 13-2 victory. Junior first baseman Russell Wrenn (Baltimore, Md./ Gilman) led the offense, going 2-for-3 with three RBI with a double. Sophomore pitcher David Sigler (Strasburg, Pa./ Lampeter-Strasburg) went the distance allowing only seven hits to run his record to 2-1.
