How It Happened
 
* Rutgers-Camden scored all its runs within the first three innings of the game.  The Scarlet Raptors went up 1-0 in the first when Frankie Romond drove in Jacob Watson with a base hit. 
 
* The home team added a pair of runs in both the second and third innings to extend the lead to 5-0.  Diego Salazar had a run scoring double in the second and Jack Murphy hit a two-run homer in the third.
 
* The score remained 5-0 until the top of the fourth when Abington cut the lead to 5-2 thanks to a two-run homer by junior Justin Fogel.  Junior Tim Petrucelli led the inning off with a walk and was followed by Fogel's ninth home run of the season.
 
* Both teams were held scoreless until the top of the ninth.  The Nittany Lions made it a 5-3 game with two outs in the final frame.  Fogel scored on a base hit by senior Josh Baar.  With Baar on first, senior Louis Rossner drew a walk with the potential go-ahead run at the plate.  However, Camden's Sebastian Vega entered the game in relief and struck out the final batter to secure the win for the Scarlet Raptors.
