UNO got on the scoreboard in the top half of the second inning on a #Brian Goliber# sacrifice fly to center that brought home Klein.
The Mavericks added to its lead in the fifth and eighth innings. Klein had the game-winning hit in the fifth with a two-out single that brought #Brian Strawn home for the 2-0 lead. The Mavericks added an insurance run in the top of the eighth.
