Mountaineer junior second baseman Landen Hanstead singled to lead off the game. He then stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and eventually scored on an error in the field. That would be the lone Mount Baker run as the Turks won in walk-off fashion in the bottom of the seventh inning. Senior Brady West pitched the first four innings and allowed just one hit and struck out eight.
