Right fielder Taylor Ferguson (Charlton, Mass.) saved a run in the top of the fourth, chasing down a ball seemingly destined for the right centerfield gap off the bat of Karl Derbacher. The sophomore came close to turning the remarkable catch into a double play, nearly doubling up Mo Davidson as he hustled back to first. Fittingly, Ferguson would make all three outs in the inning on fly balls to right field.
