After each team went three up and three down in the seventh, the game went to extra innings.

Colby-Sawyer junior Kyle Greenwood (Lyndonville, Vt.) reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to second when sophomore Alex Fredette (Falmouth, Maine) earned a walk. Senior Sean Gavin (Keene, N.H.) then hit a dribbler to shortstop who tried to make a play to second, but Fredette beat the throw. While the play was unfolding at second, Greenwood came all the way around to score the game-winning run.

Keith earned his fourth win of the season after tossing eight shutout innings. He gave up just three hits and struck out seven.

Brewer took the loss and allowed three hits. He struck out 11 Colby-Sawyer batters.
