ALBION, Mich. – Albion College salvaged a game in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association series with Alma College, taking a 13-5 decision in the nightcap of the Monday games played at Champions Stadium.

Arszulowicz crushed a triple to center field, scoring Jack Wyman, and he scored on Jordyn Finney's single as Albion regained the lead, 7-5, in the bottom of the second.
Riley Stesiak scored on a passed ball in the third and he slugged his fourth homerun of the season in the fifth.
Doornweerd completed Albion's scoring with a two-run double in the eighth.
