Six strong innings from freshman Charlie Monterrosa mixed with another impressive showing from Johns Hopkins hitters led to a comfortable 10-0 win, in seven innings, over Washington & Jefferson.

For the second straight loss, Eastern (11-3) allowed a two-run home run in the first inning. Unlike Wednesday's 10-1 home loss to Westfield State, Eastern recovered against Salve (8-3) to tie the game, 4-4 on the strength of senior catcher Matt Malcom's team-leading sixth home run (30th of his career) in the fifth and a leadoff double by senior third baseman Brent Cosculluela and RBI single by sophomore centerfielder Ray Leonzi in the sixth.

The Pioneers were not finished and grabbed a 5-4 lead after junior Noah Cabassa recorded a pinch-hit RBI single. Keystone tied the game in the top of the ninth on a leadoff home run. However, with one out in the bottom of the ninth, Weis worked a favorable 2-0 count and blasted a ball over the fence in left field to secure the 6-5 walk-off victory for the Pioneers.

A Doc Daniels triple circled around Alex Seidleck to tie the game at 10 in the top of the eighth. After a scoreless ninth forced extra innings, the rains came. They didn't come in the literal sense, but rather the proverbial one as the Phoenix put up a seven-spot in the 10th.
