After William & Mary answered with onein the next half inning, Landon Choboy lifted a fly ball to deep center in the sixth to score Ari Sechopoulos from third to give the Cougars a 2-1 advantage.

The Tribe countered with a four-run top of the seventh and added two in the eighth to take a 7-2 lead into the eighth. Harrison Hawkins snatched one back with a solo homer in the eighth and the Cougars left the tying run in the on-deck circle in the ninth.

Cougar starter Ty Good battled his way through six and one-third innings, striking out seven and allowing two runs on four hits and four walks in his first career Friday night start.
