Andrew Burke (Walpole, MA) and Alex Hee (Walpole, MA) followed in relief, with Hee surrendering six runs, just one earned, in the fourth inning. Robert Runge (Manasquan, NJ) was effective late, tossing three scoreless innings.
 
MIT's offense was powered by Dalton Chi (Cerritos, CA), Jack Finnegan (Essex, CT) and Zev Moore (Jerusalem, Israel), who combined for eight hits and six RBI in the win. Chi went 3-for-5 with four runs scored and two RBI, while Finnegan reached base four times and drove in two. Moore added three hits, including a two-run home run. Maximo Del Pino (New York, NY) and Eitan Moore (Jerusalem, Israel) also homered as part of a 15-hit attack, while John Dwyer (Northport, NY) contributed a pair of hits and an RBI and Owen Malone (Portsmouth, RI) drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

MIT jumped in front in the first on a sacrifice fly from Malone before breaking the game open in the second inning. Del Pino and Eitan Moore launched back-to-back home runs, and the visitors added three more runs in the frame to take a 5-0 lead.
 
WPI answered in the second when Stoll delivered an RBI single to score Jack Zawacki (Pittsford, NY). The Engineers added two more in the third as Wiberg lined a two-run single up the middle, bringing home Shea and Chuck Cappello (Southboro, MA) to cut the deficit to 8-3.
 
MIT responded with a six-run fourth inning, capitalizing on a pair of WPI errors as five of the six runs were unearned to extend the lead to 14-3.
 
WPI plated its final run in the fourth when Keblin doubled to left field to score McLaughlin, making it 14-4. The Engineers were held without a hit over the final three innings.
