Connor McLaughlin and James McReynolds combined to hold the Foresters to four hits and three runs over the last three innings as the Orange and Black picked up their 22^nd win of the season.
 
Tech drew blood first in the fifth inning after taking advantage of a Huntington passed ball and two errant throws as Mead scored on a wild throw to make it 1-0. Newsom would then drive in Hakes in the next inning and Koehring scored one batter later as the Warriors took a 3-0 lead in in the sixth.
 
The visitors tacked on three more runs in the seventh as Mead doubled home Fyfe before Koehring drove home Mead and Charlie Sipe three batters later.
