Thomas Furmanski led the Purple Eagles at the plate banging out 4 hits, including 3 doubles with 4 RBIs.

Vincent Zona added 3 hits for Albion as Austin Dugan, Liam Ward. Addison Christ and Bryan VanWycke 2 each.

Furmanski put Albion on top to stay with a two-run double in the first inning.

The Purple Eagles later put a firm lock on the victory by scoring 7 times in the fifth frame.  Harrison Brown, Zona, VanWycke and Christ all had hits to highlight the uprising.
