Senior Nick Belli led off the ninth with a single and was sacrficed to second, coming around to score the tying run on a double by senior Nick Whelan.
The Mules did not get a hit in either the 10th or 11th innings, and King's won the game on two walks and a single in the bottom of the 11th.
Whelan and Belli (pictured above) had two hits apiece for Muhlenberg.
Freshman Daniel Beagle started the game on the mound and tossed three scoreless innings.
