How It Happened:

Freshman Lincoln Lubsen (Williamsburg, Va./Walsingham Academy) followed with a double that plated Johnson to give R-MC a 2-0 edge.
• Senior Spencer Pietruszynski (Williamsburg, Va./Jamestown) belted a two-out homer in the fifth, his second in the past three games, as the Yellow Jackets went up 3-0.

Junior Ethan Iannuzzi (Chesterfield, Va./Cosby) had a leadoff triple, while sophomore Myles Webb (Norfolk, Va./Granby) singled and Hass walked to load the bases. Johnson reached on a two-base error, as Iannuzzi and Webb scored to push the lead to 5-0. An RBI groundout by sophomore Trey Pridgen (York, Pa./York Suburban) brought in Hass to give the visitors a 6-0 advantage.
• After the Eagles scored single runs in the sixth and seventh, R-MC added an insurance run in the ninth.
