Sam Lavin posted a slash line of .300/.462/.800 with a triple, a home run, two runs, three walks, and five RBI in the Oles' 2-1 opening weekend at Simpson. The junior did most of his damage in a 15-2 victory on 3/5, going 2-for-4 with a walk and connecting on his first collegiate grand slam to finish with a career-high five RBI in the run-rule victory. Lavin also started the game on the mound and struck out seven in three innings of two-hit, one-run ball.
