Jordan broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the third inning in game two with a double to right center, scoring Ryan Hughes (Crozet, VA/ Western Albemarle) from second. Jordan Walton (Mechanicsville, VA/ Lee Davis) then plated Jordan with a single up the middle. Davis scored later in the inning on a Lynchburg error to put Randolph-Macon on top 3-0.

Litz put the Hornets on the board in the top of the fourth with a sacrifice fly that scored Colquhoun.

Lynchburg pulled within one after Mike Walters hit a solo homerun to right center in the top of the fifth.

Four consecutive two out singles by the Jackets in the bottom of the fifth extended their lead back to three runs at 5-2.

The Hornets rallied for three runs in the ninth on three hits with the tying run scoring on a Watkins sacrifice fly.

After a scoreless 10th inning, LC rallied for two runs in the top of the 11th on a bases loaded hit by a pitch and a sacrifice fly to go up 7-5.

Michael Helbig (Midlothian, VA/ Midlothian) then drew a two out walk to put the tying run on first. Weymouth (Rockville, VA/ Hanover) stepped to the plate next and ripped a line drive homerun to right field, giving the Jackets an 8-7 walk off win.

Justin Thorn (Mechanicsville, VA/ Hanover) picks up the win in relief. Weymouth paced R-MC at the plate going 3-for-5 with a homerun and an RBI. Walton also went 3-for-5 with two runs batted in.
