Kevin Hall put the 'Dons up for good with an RBI single in the third. It was the second run of the inning for Purdue Fort Wayne and made it a 3-1 game. Hall, Camden Karczewski, Justin Osterhouse and Brooks Sailors each had two hits in the game. Brooks Sailors extended his school-record on-base streak to 39 games in the contest. Osterhouse also had a walk to reach base three times.
The Mastodons added a single run in the fifth and another in the eighth to go ahead by the final score 5-2.
Oakland falls to 14-34 (7-16 Horizon League). The 'Dons improve to 9-35 (7-15 Horizon League). The rubber game of the three-game series is set for Sunday.
