Rose-Hulman led 4-2 after five innings, courtesy of an RBI single by Zach Trusk, two RBI ground outs and Trusk reaching first on a fielding error in the third inning. Capital scored once in the sixth to close to 4-3 before its seventh inning rally.
Capital improved to 4-1, while Rose-Hulman dropped to 0-3. The Fightin' Engineers return to action on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. against Wartburg.
