Johns Hopkins handed Trinity (Conn.) its first loss of the season and now it is winner-take-all in order to bring home the Walnut and Bronze. The Blue Jays (42-7) took the lead in the top of the ninth on a wild pitch-strikeout. Tim Kiely, the Bantams' ace, covered the plate but was late getting the tag down and Johns Hopkins took a 4-3 lead. The Blue Jays would get a 1-2-3 inning to force the first 15th game in four years.

Trinity got their first run in the first inning. Ryan Piacentini singled up the middle and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Jonas Fester's error put runners on the corner and Kent Graham's double to left field plated Piacentini.

Johns Hopkins would tie the game in the second. Todd Emr singled to shortstop and was erased on a Tony Margve fielder's choice. Margve moved to second when Solomon walked, just the third walk all season for Tim Kiely. Matt Benchener singled with two outs to bring home Margve.

Johns Hopkins added to their lead in the third. Two fielding errors put Jonas Fester and Rob Pietroforte first and second. Emr's single would give Johns Hopkins the 2-1 lead.

Trinity would take the lead on Sean Killeen's double to left center, driving in Piacentini and Jack Abbott. The lead was short-lived as Magvre, Johns Hopkins's catcher, would score his second run of the game on Benchener's single. The score would remain the same until the ninth inning.
