"I felt bad about that because Bink made such a great play and played such great defense all afternoon," Birtwell said.
The Crimson jumped on Penn starter Mike Mattern early, staking a 4-0 lead through three. Huling made it 1-0 in the first when he stole third on the front end of a double steal then cruised home when third baseman Will Clark bobbled catcher Jeff Gregorio's throw into leftfield.
Keck plated Carey with a sacrifice fly in the third, and Larocque drove in Mager and Huling with a mammoth two-run double to right in the next at-bat.
"We were doing things Coach mentions all the time, making adjustments," Larocque said. "[Mattern] had been starting everybody off with fastballs, so I was gearing up for one on the first pitch and I got it."
Carey scored twice more, off a wild pitch in the fifth and off Huling's RBI single in the seventh, for the 6-0 final.
The Crimson's top three in the order--Carey, Mager and Huling--scored all six runs and reached base safely in eight of 12 plate appearances.
