Jeff Dusenbery had a 4-RBI night to help the DeKalb Cornhuskers down the Sandy Springs Spartans, 5-2. Ben Volpe earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. He upped his record to 5-3. Kenny Hoyles locked down his 11th save.

"When the ball finds the sweet spot," said Dusenbery, "I can't complain."

The Cornhuskers move to 62-75 with the win, while the Spartans drop to 73-64.
