Both pitching staffs had strong days, holding each offense to five hits. Chase Mayberry (Appomattox, VA/Appomattox) was the Tigers' pitcher of decision, allowing four runs – just two earned – on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts.

Hampden-Sydney got onto the board two innings later, using a solo homerun from Brian Goodwyn (Chester, VA/Thomas Dale) to make it a 2-1 game.

The Maroons fired right back in the top half of the fifth, however, with a solo homerun from Sean Guida to push the lead back to two at 3-1. Roanoke then added one to the board in the top of the seventh to extend the lead to 4-1.

Hampden-Sydney inched closer in the eighth with a sacrifice fly from Andrew Kasiski (Chesapeake, VA/Indian River) driving home Joey Sutphin (Radford, VA/Radford HS), who reached on a triple.

4-2 would be as close as the Tigers would get with Sal Trancucci picking up the save after allowing just one run on two hits and a walk with a strikeout in two innings.

Jonathan Triesler (Chesterfield, VA/Clover Hill) threw two scoreless innings, giving up just one hit and two walks with three strikeouts, and Michael Flanagan (Moseley, VA/Cosby) threw a scoreless inning, giving up just two walks.

Offensively, Sutphin and Jacob Fontana (Midlothian, VA/Cosby) each led the was, going 2-for-3. Sutphin hit a triple and Fontana a single. Goodwyn had the Tigers' only other hit with his solo homerun.
