Junior lefty Teddy Kaufman made his first-career BIG EAST Conference start, striking out four, but allowed five earned runs in 4.0 innings to take the loss. Junior Andrew Salgueiro pitched two-thirds of an inning before being relieved by sophomore Zach Pietrzyk, who gave up four runs from four hits while striking out two in 3.1 innings.
