Rain was threatening all night, and even delayed the start of the game, but that didn't stop the match up between the top two teams in the league. The Baltimore Redbirds (25-12) traveled to Bethesda to face the Big Train (30-7) on Wednesday night at the ballpark. Brock Larson (San Francisco) received the start, and in the 13-1 win tossed six innings, allowing zero runs on four hits while striking out four batters.

Bethesda was back at it in the bottom of the 3rd, scoring four more runs. Logan Farrar (Virginia Commonwealth) scored on a couple of fielding errors by the Redbirds, after singling to reach base. Chris Lewis (Sacramento State) singled and scored on a deep two bagger in the left field gap hit by Wes Rea. Rea, then scored on an RBI single by Cody Brown (Mississippi State). Brown scored the last run of the inning on Ryne Willard's single.
The Redbirds threatened to score in the top of the 4th, but on a fly ball Logan Farrar hit the cutoff man for a perfect relay to Stephen Alemais (Tulane), who roped the ball home for Justin Morris (Maryland) to tag out the runner in a bang-bang play.
Wes Rea knocked home Logan Farrar on a single between the shortstop and third baseman in the bottom of the 4th, giving the Big Train a commanding 7-0 lead.
Ryne Willard added to his total on the night with an RBI double in the 5th, knocking home Cody Brown who hit a double of his own to reach base. Willard scored on an RBI double by Stephen Alemais to right center field. The Big Train doubled three times in the inning and extended the lead to 9-0.
