In the top of the ninth, Emory & Henry tied the contest on a two-out single by senior left fielder Brandon Lucas (Riner, Va.). Senior shortstop Josh McMillian (Amelia, Va.) hit a double down the left field line to plate two runs and give the Wasps a 10-8 advantage. The Rams were able to bring one across the plate in the bottom of the inning, but would get no closer.

McMillian went three-for-six at the plate with four RBI to lead E&H while Lucas was two-for-five with three runs scored and two RBI. Senior catcher Collin Metz (Cape Coral, Fla.) went three-for-five as well.

Junior Jessup Lambert (Fries, Va.) picked up the win in relief for the Wasps, pitching two innings. Senior Zach Jones (Fries, Va.) earned his first save of the year in the bottom of the ninth.
