WINCHESTER, Va.- The Immaculata baseball team rallied twice in the late innings to force extra innings, but it was not enough as they fell to second seed Neumann 6-5 in ten innings and were eliminated from the AEC Tournament.  

Nick Turnage was 2-5 with two RBIs to lead Immaculata. Joey Mazzone led off the ninth inning with a triple and scored the tying run on a single by Matt Passerini. Aidan Jackson kept Immaculata in the game throwing 4.1 innings in relief allowing only one unearned run. 

Immaculata, who had their three-year reign as AEC Champions ended today, complete their 2025 season 13-27 overall, and were 7-8 in Atlantic East Conference play.
