NDSU kept the comeback going into the ninth after Brock Anderson delivered an RBI single into center field to score Cadyn Schwabe to lock the contest, 4-4. Logan Williams then followed it up getting a two RBI double to drop down the left field line to steal the lead, 6-4. Jake Drew finished the bottom half of the frame sending the Leathernecks down in order to complete the 6-4 comeback victory.
