RCTC rallied with three insurance runs in the sixth inning. The Yellowjackets scored in every inning but the fifth.
"We tell the players we need to win every inning and that equals winning the ballgame, and we did that," RCTC coach Shelley Boettcher said.
RCTC is 8-6 in the MCCC and 14-10 overall. It plays at St. Cloud Tech on Saturday and is now ranked No. 7 in the NJCAA.
