With one out, James Keller walked, and Justin Kime followed with a single. Senior Jono Haught delivered an RBI double to left-center field, and Mitch Moynihan followed with a two-run single. James Sink followed with a single to put runners at first and second, and David Slupek and Thomas Weaver provided RBI singles.

Salisbury resonded with two runs in the bottom of the sixth on a squeeze and a triple. The Eagles scored once in the eighth, but Salisbury avoided further damage with a double play with the bases loaded and one out. The Eagles started the ninth with a pair of hits, but could pull no closer.

Haught, Kime, Sink, and Weaver each had two hits for UMW, with Moynihan providing two RBI. Weaver took the loss on the mound for UMW, allowing four earned runs in four innings, with six hits allowed.
