HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- In the bottom of the first, Joseph Millar led off with a single and stole second before eventually scoring on a wild pitch for the early 1-0 Endicott lead. MIT answered in the top of the second as first-year Zev Moore (Jerusalem, Israel) led off the inning with a double to right and scored on a fielder's choice to tie things at 1-1.
 
- The Engineers went in front in the third as junior Teddy Schoenfeld (Boulder, Colo.) homered to right field with one out for the 2-1 lead. The Gulls answered with a run of their own as Thomas Barbieri homered to right to knot things up at 2-2 heading to the sixth.
 
- Endicott went ahead for good in the bottom of the sixth as the Gulls took advantage of three MIT walks and a pair of wild pitches. Caleb Shpur came home on a wild pitch and Danny MacDougall singled to drive in Nicolas Notarangelo for the 4-2 advantage. The Gulls used four hits in the seventh, including a bases-clearing triple by Notarangelo, to seize a 9-2 lead heading to the final two innings.
 
- MIT got three runs back in the top of the eighth as Schoenfeld scored on a sacrifice fly by senior Graham Cartwright (La Jolla, Calif.) to get things going and make it 9-3. The Engineers then cut the lead down to 9-5 on back-to-back RBI singles to right from junior Kennan Gumbs (New York, N.Y.) and junior Phillip Hood (Grapevine, Texas) before the Gulls worked out of the jam.
 
- Endicott added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth, accounting for the 10-5 final score.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
