Phil Capra flied out to center field that brought Nick Mascelli home to cross the plate for the first run of the game. Brendan Dabagian scored the only run of the game for the Mount in the top of the third inning off of groundout from Causa to even the game at one run apiece.

After two scoreless innings, the Seahawks plated the decisive run of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning with two outs. Kyle Cala was brought across the plate to score off of a RBI single up the middle off the bat of Joe Silverstone.

Wagner topped the Mountaineers 9-3 in the second game of the doubleheader to complete the four game series sweep. Myles Nicholson, Jared Urban, Parker, and Thomas Savastio each picked up one hit for the Mount's only four hits of the game.

Parker added a 1 for 2 (.500) performance while driving in the other run for the Mount. Senior, Noah Smith, pitched 1.1 innings in relief while giving up no runs and no hits for Mount St. Mary's.

The Mountaineers plated three of the first four runs of the game but could not put another run across the board.

The Seahawks tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the second inning with a RBI double down the left field line off the bat of Mascelli that plated Brandon Hall. The Mount fought back and took a two run lead in the top of the third when Savastio singled up the middle that brought Causa and Parker home.
