The win served as a huge confidence booster for the team, who has struggled thus far in close games. Miami had lost seven one-run games prior to Saturday.
"They realized that it has just been frustrating for this team because we have fallen short and we have lost a lot of close games," Simonds said. "We need something to get some momentum, and we need know that we can do it. I think a game like this certain helps."
Nurre was the only RedHawk to get multiple hits during the game. Freshman pitcher Samuel Dawes pitched 1.3 innings while giving up zero runs and zero hits.
"I think it went very well," Niro said. "We wanted to get a good win and that was definitely a big way to win it at the bottom of the ninth. It's huge for us and gets some momentum going for the rest of the MAC season."
After finishing the series with a loss on Sunday the 'Hawks are 7-20 this season and 2-7 in the Mid-Atlantic Conference. The 'Hawks have two match-ups this week at home. Tonight, the team plays the University of Cincinnati at 6 p.m., and Indiana University comes to town Wednesday for a 6 p.m. game.
