While the Big Train weren't the most consistent offensive team on Tuesday, when they scored, they scored often. The Big Train combined five scoreless innings with two huge innings of five and seven runs to take their third consecutive exhibition game to start the season.

The Big Train took advantage of three Rookie errors in the first inning to push across five runs, and later drew walk after walk in the seventh to rally back from a 6-5 deficit and break the game open, pushing their lead all the way to 12-6.

Billy Murphy (Rutgers), the winner of last night's exhibition game, earned another win after pitching a scoreless 7th.
