The Profs added a run each in the fourth, thanks to an RBI double by Karson Harcourt and then one in the sixth, after an RBI single by Mason Dorsey.

Rowan took a 10-run advantage, 12-1, in the eighth as Nick Struble hit a two-run double and then scored on a wild pitch.

Penn State Abington extended the game when Ja'nai Vaughan hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth.
