The Foresters (12-11) never trailed, scoring three runs apiece in the third and fourth innings and then breaking the game open with a six-run fifth.

Arbuckle struck out three batters over his eight innings before turning the game over to Anderson Fenton for the final three outs. He gave up four runs on 10 hits and two walks.

The senior leads Huntington with 34 innings pitched while recording 17 strikeouts and a 5.29 ERA. He is 3-2 with one complete game and one save.
