Towson (7-11, 0-7 CAA) got out to an early lead on a solo home run but the Camels quickly responded in the top of the third with a pair of runs. Elijah Clayton led off the inning with his first home run as a Camel before Joey Morton tallied his 19th RBI of the season on a base hit to right field to make it 2-1. 

The Tigers evened things up in the fourth on an RBI double but once again the Camels responded with a run in the top of the next frame as Carlos Lugo recorded an RBI groundout to make it 3-2.  

Following Music's home run, Lugo plated Clayton on an RBI infield single and pulled off the double steal with Joe Simpson to give the Camels a 8-4 lead after five innings. 

Towson regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI double to make it 4-3.
