In the 5-3 loss, starting pitcher Matt Weissheier went six innings, while Teddy Cillis, Mikey Riesner and Vito Friscia each had hits. Two unearned runs proved to be the difference for the Phillies.

Brad Camarda was the starting pitcher in the second game and went five scoreless innings. Parker Quinn had a triple, while Jimmy Joyce, Rob Weissheier and Justin Smith collected singles.

Combined in the two games, Hofstra was 8-8 in stolen base attempts.
