The Engineers sliced the margin to one with a three-run shot in the third. They took the 6-5 lead as they tallied three runs in the fifth.
Wartburg regained the lead at 7-6 in the bottom of the fifth on RBI singles from Jake Thumann and Tyler Willis.
Back-to-back home runs from DJ Utley and Milton Croes in the sixth made it 9-6. The Knights scored their final two runs in the eighth on a two-run homer from Blake Wilson.
Rose-Hulman scored its final run in the top of the ninth, but was not able to make up the difference to give the Orange and Black their third-straight win.
Wartburg concludes its Spring Break trip tomorrow against Roger Williams.
