The Hawks earned their spot with a 7-1 victory over the Mariners in Saturday's second game of the double-elimination tournament. Mitchell then came up with an 8-4 win over Elms College—which defeated Lesley University 8-2 in the first game of the day—to earn a rematch with Becker on Sunday, May 4 at 10 a.m.

Becker (20-15 overall) outhit Mitchell 15-6 in the day's second game and got home runs from Chris Testa (Providence, R.I./LaSalle Academy), Matt Consigli (Whitinsville, Mass./Northbridge) and Taylor Kapulka (Worcester, Mass./Holy Name) to power its way into the title round. Tyler Wagar (Uxbridge, Mass./Uxbridge) went the distance on the hill, limiting the Mariners to only one run while striking out a season-high nine batters.

Mitchell struck first thanks to a solo home run by Kenneth Olszewski (Canterbury, Conn./Griswold) in the bottom of the first inning. However, Becker answered right back with a pair of runs in the second courtesy of a two-run blast by Kapulka. The Mariners left the bases loaded in the second, and Testa led off the third with a solo homer to increase the Becker lead to 3-1. The Hawks later tacked on two more runs in the seventh that included an RBI single by Mike Marcello (West Haven, Conn./West Haven), and the final run came in the ninth on a solo homer by Consigli.  Mitchell stranded runners in scoring position in the third, fifth and sixth innings as Wagar got stronger as the game went on. He retired the final 10 batters he faced en route to his third win of the season. Marcello led all players with four hits on the day while Kapulka and Tom Natoli (Suffern, N.Y./Suffern) each had three. Mitchell starter Tyler Shamas (Westbrook, Conn./Westbrook) took the loss, surrendering six runs (five earned) on 13 hits while striking out seven over 6.1 innings.
