The Engineers later took the lead at 9-8 as sophomore Phillip Hood (Grapevine, Texas) drove in junior Graham Cartwright (La Jolla, Calif.) on a bases-loaded walk.
 
- In the ninth, Cartwright gave MIT the lead with a two-RBI single to right center before the Engineers secured the 11-10 win in the bottom of the frame.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- MIT outhit the Gulls by a 20-15 margin, led by a four-hit attack with three runs scored and four runs batted in from Finch. Jake Sonandres and first-year Malachi Soqui (Castaic, Calif.) both picked up three hits each and three other four other Engineers had multiple hits.
