John Higgins led off the inning with a walk before Jack Tallent drove him home with a double down the left field line. Jesse Swartout reached on an error and Robert Klawans walked before Christian Alonso drove them both home with a single for the 3-2 lead. The Profs tied the game in the sixth with a solo home run from Anthony Schooley. Both teams had chances to score late in the game as both defenses got out of jams sending the game into extra innings. In the top of the 10^th, Ramapo was able to get the game-winning run to second base as Ciani singled and stole second with two outs before Rowan held the 3-3 tie with a flyout to right field. Rowan went down 1-2-3 in the bottom half of the inning, setting up the eventual game-winning run in the top of the 11^th for the Roadrunners. Tallent singled to lead off the inning before Swartout singled with one out. Klawans reached on an infield error to lead the bases before Tallent was lifted for pinch-runner TJ Roman. Cristian Alonso then lifted a sac fly to right field which allowed Roman to slide in safely at home plate for the 4-3 lead. In the bottom half of the inning Ramapo reliever Will Paoli and the Ramapo defense got back-to-back outs before Rowan worked a walk and Dylan Maria singled with two outs. Paoli then induced a strikeout to end the game and earn his second win in as many days.
