Freshman pinch-runner Matthew Myers (Hampstead, Md./Manchester Valley) went to second when Duphorn was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a walk to sophomore Ethan Iannuzzi (Chesterfield, Va./Cosby). Myers scored on a deep sacrifice fly to right by senior Mike Nickles (Stafford, Va./Colonial Forge) to make it 6-3. A single by senior Kevin Mooney (Williamsburg, Va./Jamestown) plated Duphorn, pulling R-MC within two. Senior Shawn Nickles (Stafford, Va./Colonial Forge) flew out to left for the second out. Yeargain singled to right, driving in Iannuzzi from third and Mooney from first to tie the game at 6-6. Freshman Myles Webb (Norfolk, Va./Granby) pinch-ran for Yeargain and moved to second on a single by Selden. Mazey's base hit brought in Webb with the game-winning run. The game was halted in the bottom of the seventh due to darkness.
