PRINCETON, NJ – James Harmstead and Phil Stahl homered for Monmouth University Baseball (20-21), but Princeton University (7-30) used a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to take Wednesday's contest, 6-5.
 
Harmstead hit his team-leading 15^th home run of the season in the fourth to get MU on the board. Eric Marasheski singled home a pair for Princeton to give them the lead in the home fourth, but Casey Caufield's sac fly in the fifth got things back even. The Tigers took their second lead of the day on Matt Scannell's bases-clearing double in the fifth, giving the home team a 5-2 lead.
 
With two on and two out in the sixth, Phil Stahl launched a three-run game-tying home run to get things square at five. After the bullpens worked effective seventh and eighth innings, Princeton loaded the bases in the ninth and Noah Granet tucked a single inside third to win it for the Tigers, 6-5.
