Vassar freshman center fielder Nick Johnson doubled to to right field with a shot that bounced off the wall. Senior right fielder Sean Morash singled to left field, advancing Johnson to third. Sophomore third baseman Jason Garfinkel grounded to the short stop, Eddie Hernandez, reaching first on a fielder's choice as Hernandez threw to second, getting the second out of the inning.

Valerio scored again in the top of the fifth when Jeremy Delgado doubled to left center and gave Old Westbury the 2-1 lead. Vassar tied the game in the bottom of the eighth when junior second baseman Dave Robbins and Johnson both were walked by Westbury pitcher, Stephen Chapter. Robbins was able to cross the plate when Morash bunted to first baseman John Angelino who over-threw the second baseman covering first, Steve Mare.

Freshman Cameron Hood held the Panthers scoreless in a tense top of the 10th inning. After two quick ground outs to senior short stop Mike Perrone and junior first baseman Brett Zaziski, Walsh hit a double to left field and then reached third on a wild pitch. Despite walking Delgado, Hood forced Angelino to battle corner-cutting pitches until he finally sent one sailing to Robbins for the third out.

Morash went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI today, leading the Vassar bats. Robbins reached base three times from his 1-for-3 outing and two walks.
