The Hawks picked up a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh, shaving BC's advantage to four, 6-2, on an RBI single by Eric Gaines, who then initiated a double-steal on the basepath when Joel Gonzalez scored. The next half-inning saw Campbell's three-run double to right center seal the deal on BC's 11th victory in its last 15 outings.
Seven of the nine Eagle starters hit safely, led by freshman first baseman Michael Belfiore's, who powered three hits on the day. .
