Millen went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, four RBI and three runs scored, while Reistetter finished 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs to lead the way for USMMA. Sophomore Garrett Clapsaddle (Murphy, N.C.) had a double, two RBI and three runs as part of a 4-for-4 day at the plate.
 
The Raptors scored a run in the bottom of the first on a sacrifice fly, but the Mariners promptly responded in the second as Clapsaddle made it a 1-1 ballgame with an RBI single.
 
After USMMA grabbed the lead in the third on back-to-back RBI singles from Millen and Reistetter, senior Joey Zanetti (Richmond, Va.) extended the lead to 4-1 in the fourth with an RBI fielder's choice.
 
The Mariners then broke the game open in the sixth by scoring five runs with two outs. Clapsaddle led off with a double before the next two batters were retired. Freshman Charles Cahalan (Overland Park, Kan.) kept the inning going with an RBI single and Zanetti worked a walk to set the stage for a Millen two-run double. Reistetter then added the exclamation point to the inning, blasting a two-run homer to give USMMA a 9-1 advantage.
 
Bard grabbed a run back in the home half of the sixth, but the Mariners tacked on two runs of their own in the seventh as a Cahalan RBI groundout and a Zanetti RBI single gave USMMA an 11-2 lead.
 
The Raptors pulled closer once again with two runs in the bottom of the seventh, but the Mariners answered once again with a two-run eighth. A Clapsaddle sacrifice fly and an RBI single from freshman Ernest Darling (Highland, Ill.) made it a 13-4 ballgame.
 
The teams continued to trade runs as Bard strung together five hits as part of a three-run eighth that saw the Mariner lead trimmed to 13-7.
 
The Mariners weren't done, however, as they tacked on three more runs in the ninth. Millen led off with a solo home run before back-to-back walks and an infield single loaded the bases.
