Braedyn Frank went 6 innings for the Panthers and only allowed 3 runs on 4 hits but the Panthers trailed 3-0 before rallying in their half of the sixth.
Leadoff hitter Alastaire Sweetser walked and Frank singled to left to set the table. Gavin VanDyke lined to first which doubled off Frank. With 2 outs, Evan Steimle drew a walk and Sawyer Copeland doubled to right field driving in both runners to make it 3-2. The inning ended with a strikeout.
Princeton reached Panther reliever Steimle with 2 runs on 3 hits in their seventh to make the final score 5-2.
Head Coach Jeff Wunderlich said it was a tough night for hitting and EP just wasnt able to get much going.
The 5-5-1 Panthers get a rematch Thursday in Princeton at 4:30 p.m.
