Jaramillo struck out the first two hitters in the fifth before surrendering a single and walk. An error extended the inning and drove in a run, and Gutierrez tied the game on an RBI single through the left side. 
 
QUINTEN ESTRADA replaced Jaramillo to start the sixth, and York broke the game open with a grand slam. BEN SMEDSHAMMER came out of the bullpen and walked back-to-back hitters. FINN MIGNEREY replaced Smedshammer and induced a double play but hit two Chaps, surrendered two singles, and St. Edward's committed another error, falling behind 11-3.

Jaramillo went five innings, striking out seven while surrendering four hits and five walks, and two of three runs surrendered earned.
