Lansing defeated Trumansburg on a cold and windy Monday game that was marked by strong pitching from sophomore Garrett Bell. Lansing took an initial 2-0 lead with Eric Eastman and Chris Weil scoring in the top of the 5th inning.

Pitcher Garret Bell limited T-burg to 3 hits through 6 innings striking out 7 batters from the Raiders.
