Junior second baseman Roel Fernandez reached on a fielder's choice that prevented an inning-ending double play that pushed across the Falcons third run of the day in Ortiz.
Freshman Tommy Parsons came out of the bullpen to preserve the edge, tossing a hitless two-thirds of an inning, while Javier Lozada picked up his third save of the young season with a scoreless ninth inning.
Mike St. John and Brendan Cutler both went 2-4 in the winning effort.
