Despite a solo home run by Matthew Iman for the Yellow Jackets in the second inning to cut the deficit to 2-1, Musselman refused to let the Yellow Jackets celebrate by scoring four runs in the sixth inning and staving off a rally for a 7-2 win.
Eastyn Haines and Oliver Crites singled in the sixth inning, then Trevor Baldwin plated Haines on an error.
Musselman got out of the jam with a strikeout and catch.
