The Golden Knights (1-12) took advantage of leadoff walk and two infield base hits in the ninth, before the Spartans (9-7) induced a force out at home and a double play to get out of the jam. Sophomore shortstop Joseph Pena then homered over the right field fence for the game-winner.
Saint Rose jump out to a 2-0 lead in the third, before Saint Thomas Aquinas countered with four runs in the home half. The Golden Knights then drew even an inning later when Scheller drove in Fils-Aime with a base hit to right and Chandler brought around DeLuca with a single to left.
