The Profs deactivated home field advantage for the hosting Southern Maine Huskies on Sunday afternoon. No. 4 Rowan won their second game of the NCAA Regional, 18-7, at Ed Flaherty Field in Gorham, Maine, to advance to the Regional Final.

Southern Maine was victorious in their NCAA opener on Saturday against Babson, 11-7, and had only lost twice at home entering the tournament. The New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) champions, however, wasted no time pouncing on the Huskies in search of their 34th win this spring.

Single… single… single… hit by pitch… sacrifice fly… double — that’s how the bottom of the first inning began for the Profs.

A total of seven hits, highlighted by junior Joey Bogart’s two-run base knock, quickly translated into seven runs to put Rowan ahead in an instant. Bogart reached a new career-high on Sunday, tallying four RBIs to his name.

If that wasn’t enough damage dealt already, with the Profs up, 14-5, by the bottom of the eighth, junior Brayden Davis wanted the cherry on top — a grand slam. It was his second home run in as many games to open his 2026 NCAA tournament account in style. Davis is 5-for-9 with nine RBIs in the regional.

Sophomore starter Austin Kreyenhagen threw 104 pitches in five innings, allowing five runs yet striking out seven Huskies in the process. Southern Maine did blast two homers on the day, but offensive prowess gave the Profs cushions they needed to feel comfortable frame to frame.

Rowan now finds themselves one step closer to reaching the NCAA Super Regional round for the fourth time in five years. The one opponent standing in their way — a rematch with Southern Maine on Monday.

The Huskies need to win twice while Rowan is just a win away.
