After Washington College briefly reclaimed the lead in the eighth, Stevenson answered once again when Landen Eyster drove in the tying run with a sacrifice fly, making it 9–9 heading into the final frame.

In the bottom of the ninth, Jaylon Surell sparked the rally with a leadoff double. After two intentional walks loaded the bases, Ryan Schwartzman delivered the game-winning run on a fielder's choice, sealing the 10–9 comeback victory for the Mustangs.
