The Indians, now 19-3, scored four runs in the bottom of the first, the big hit being a two-run double from Mark Biafore.
Morgantown (16-6) stormed back with three in the top of the second but the Tribe’s Zach Rohrig led off the bottom half of the inning with a solo homer to spark a three-run inning. The Indians tacked on six more runs in the sixth to force the mercy rule.
Biafore hit another two-run double in the sixth. Conner Blake drove in a run with a double and Jacob Stavrakis hit his second home run in as many days.
