Senior Joey Zanetti (Richmond, Va.) and sophomore Jack Millen (Shelby, N.C.) led off the game with back-to-back singles and the Mariners took advantage of an error to plate a pair of unearned runs in the first.

Sophomore Garrett Clapsaddle (Murphy, N.C.) then reached on a two-base error that allowed Chambers to score and junior Brice Garner (Fort Collins, Colo.) gave the Mariners a 7-1 lead with an RBI single. A pair of walks loaded the bases, but Baruch escaped further damage with an inning-ending strikeout.
 
The Mariners continued to build their lead in the sixth as a Chambers sacrifice fly and a Darling RBI double pushed the advantage to 9-1, but Baruch got two runs back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI groundout and a wild pitch.
