Emory took an early 3-0 lead over Capital, scoring two in the bottom of the first off a bases-loaded walk to Jay Page and a RBI fielder's choice for Patrick Riebsame.  The Eagles added on a third run in second inning on a Ryan Jones sacrifice fly.

Jonathan Reilly started the Eagles' ninth inning with a base hit, followed by a walk to Jared Welch.  After Maxim Sankey's sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third, Brandon Hannon picked up his second bunt single of the game, scoring Reilly from third base.  Then, with Jones at the plate, Hannon drew a pickoff attempt from the catcher at first base, but the throw got away from the first baseman, allowing Welch to score from third.  The Eagles would load the bases with two outs in the ninth, but could not push the go ahead run across.

After both sides worked quick 10^th innings, Emory closer Mike Bitanga retired the first two batters in the 11^th, but allowed a double and a base hit in consecutive at bats to score the eventual game-winning run.  The Eagles were retired in order in the bottom of the innings to end the game.

Hannon finished the day three-for-five at the plate with a run, a RBI and two stolen bases, as the freshman's average rose to .514 this season.
