In the fifth, starting pitcher Brendan McComber walked the first two batters in the inning, then after a pitching change, on came Ryan Henson, who got the first out after a sac bunt.

In the bottom of the fifth, UMW took the lead back with Lowe's RBI double, then in the sixth Oliver Martin added another run with an RBI single, and finally, Tommy Martinez added the last run in the inning on a dropped by ball as the Eagles led, 5-2.
