R-MC's lead held until the sixth inning where the Profs rallied for six runs, all with two outs, on three hits and two Randolph-Macon errors. Citro led off the inning with a single and scored later in the inning on a Nick Turano single. Rowan then pushed across two runs on two errors before Rich Fagan capped the inning with a three run homerun.
