Pauley collected a two-run double in the sixth to pad the lead.

Four Bees combined to strike out seven Cougars in the second game.

Carson Johnson started and worked the first two innings. Nathaniel Johnson earned the win with two innings in relief. Sergio Marchizza and Joe Evans combined to throw the final three innings.

Filip Milatovic had a two-run single as part of a seven-run third inning that changed momentum. Pauley, Fitzgerald, Matias and Roth also had RBIs in the frame that put SAU in front 8-3.

Saint Xavier got within 8-5 but Fitzgerald had a twp-run single and later scored on a wild pitch in the sixth to push the lead to 11-5. An inning later, Conforti brought in Daniel Laughery with a single before Fitzgerald ripped a three-run homer to center to complete the scoring.

Milatovic was 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs. Fitzgerald had two hits, scored three runs and drove in six. Pauley also had two hits.

The Bees will start a four-game series with Olivet Nazarene with a doubleheader in Bourbonnais, Ill., Friday.
