After the Seahawks scored three in the third to take a 6-4 lead, UMW answered with three in the top of the fourth. Burns hit a two-run single, and Hague provided an RBI groundout in the inning.

UMW raised its lead to 9-6 in the fifth, as Bryce Runey scored on a wild pitch and Burns delivered a scarifice fly to plate Thomas Weaver. St. Mary's scored three in the fifth to tie the score, and scored in every inning the rest of the way, including a six-run eighth, for th 11-run victory.

Burns, Robert Cross, Weaver, and Ramsis Ruiz all had two hits for UMW as part of a 13-hit attack. The Eagles will be back in action on Saturday when they visit York College for a noon doubleheader in conference action.
