Seton Hill continued its non conference schedule with a road contest at Ashland on Saturday afternoon.  

The Griffins scored three times in the top of the eighth inning and Brandon Kline threw out the tying run at the plate to end the contest as SHU won its seventh straight contest to open the season with an 8-7 win.  

Seton Hill took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning when Owen Sabol homered with one out.  Ashland tied the score at one with a run in the bottom of the third inning.  SHU retook the lead in the top of the fourth inning.  Jack Oberdorf led off the inning by drawing a walk.  Sabol singled to put runners on first and second.  After a ground out, Vincenzo Rauso reached on an error to load the bases.  Jamie Wrabel then doubled to knock in two with Rauso scoring on a throw as SHU took a 4-1 lead.  

The Eagles scored three times in the bottom of the inning to tie the contest at four. Jordan Fiedor and Tommy Pellis singled to lead off the fifth inning.  Fiedor scored to give SHU a 5-4 lead on an Eagles error.
