The Lake Monsters doubled their hit total to start the sixth on back-to-back singles from George Cooper (Harvard) and Jimmy Evans (Tufts). One out later Cam Conley (Pepperdine) cut the deficit to one with a sacrifice fly to left and following Ryan Marra (Brown) walk, Logan Keller (Navy) tied the game 3-3 with an RBI single to right.
Following another walk, Marra scored the go ahead run on a wild pitch to give Vermont a 4-3 lead. Evans added a much needed insurance run in the seventh with an RBI single to center before the Silver Knights got a pair of doubles in the eighth to get within 5-4. George Goldstein (Middlebury) allowed a leadoff single top ninth, but then retired the next three Nashua batters to earn his league-leading fifth save.
