Niles, Ohio -- Freshman Blake Aquadro held Le Moyne an unearned run on three hits, and Youngstown State played solid defense behind him to defeat Le Moyne 4-1 in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday at Eastwood Field.

Aquadro did not allow a hit until a bunt single with two outs in the sixth, and the Dolphins' only run came after an error in the ninth. The Penguins scored three insurance runs in the eighth to put some distance between the teams in what had been a classic pitchers' duel.

Aquadro did not walk a batter, beaned one hitter, struck out five and surrendered just the three hits in his first career complete game. After the bunt single with two outs in the sixth, he allowed a double to left just over the glove of leaping third baseman Zac McFarland. Second baseman C.J. Morris then came up with the defensive play of the day when he dove to his left to snag Chris Edmondson's hard grounder and threw to first to preserve the lead.

The final Dolphins' hit came in the ninth when Zach Wiley hit a low liner that hand-cuffed Jacke Healey at shortstop. That put runners on the corners with nobody out, but Aquadro induced Edmondson into a sacrifice fly, struck out Matt Marra and got Sean Paino to fly out.

Tom Clayton had two hits, drove in the first run of the game and scored YSU's final run. Wiley had two of Le Moyne's three hits.

After Morris' defensive play ended the top of the sixth, the Penguins broke a scoreless tie in the bottom half of the inning. Derek Carr drew a full-count walk with one out off starter Mark Kuzma, and he swiped second base to give the Penguins their first runner in scoring position. He went to third on a wild pitch, and Clayton brought him in with an RBI double to left center.

The Penguins scored three times in the eighth off two Le Moyne relievers to give Aquadro, a native of Memphis, Tenn., a four-run cushion.

Jeremy Banks walked to lead off the eighth, and he moved to second on Carr's sacrifice bunt. Healey ripped a single to left to score Banks, and he later scored on Armani Johnson's sacrifice fly. Clayton scored the final run when he came around from second on Joe Iacobucci's single to right.

Over his past two starts, Aquadro has allowed one run on seven hits over 17 innings.

The Penguins will play against Pittsburgh at Eastwood Field on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
