Kyle Ruedisili (Jupiter, Fla. / The Benjamin School / Washington and Lee University) had two hits and stole two bases while Alex Rosen (Newport Beach, Calif. / Corona Del Mar) doubled and drove in two runs.
 
The Hoyas jumped on the board first in the top of the second inning as Achecar drew a one-out walk and came all the way around to score on a two-out double by Rosen to give GU a 1-0 lead.
 
In the top of the fourth, McCabe led off with a double into the left field corner. A walk and fly out put runners at the corners with one out before Rosen delivered his second RBI in as many at-bats, scoring McCabe with sacrifice fly. Barreca followed with a double off the left field fence to push Achecar across the plate and extend the advantage to 3-0.
 
UMBC scored an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to cut the lead to 3-1, but the Hoyas responded right back in the top of the fifth. Ryan M. Davis (Danville, Calif. / San Ramon Valley) singled with two outs and stole second before coming around to score on another double by McCabe, giving the Blue & Gray a 4-1 lead.
 
The score remained the same until the top of the seventh when Ruedisili singled with one out and promptly stole second. On the next pitch, he scored when Weisenberg lined an RBI single into center field, pushing the advantage to 5-1.
 
Achecar was hit by a pitch to lead off the top of the eighth. He went to third on a single by Kai Nelson (New, York, N.Y. / Fieldston) and scored on a sacrifice fly by Ryan P. Davis (Oak Hill, Va. / Oakton) to provide the final score, 6-1.
