George Mason plated two runs in the ninth inning to tie visiting Radford before scoring the winning run in the tenth to squeak past the Highlanders 7-6 on Wednesday. Radford had taken a one run lead with a five run fourth inning before adding to the lead with a run in the top of the ninth before Mason rallied.
