The Rebels (14-10) knocked Raider starter Heath Goins from the game in the third inning after taking a 5-1 lead. Ritchie finished the frame with six more runs and added a couple more in the fourth to put the game out of reach.
Alex Mace, Ryan Jarvis and Jared Reed worked in relief for the Raiders.
Matt Brohard was 2-for-2 and knocked in the only Roane run in the first inning.
Ryan Richards allowed four hits to pick up the pitching win for the Rebels and helped himself with a 2-for-2 day at the plate. Chase Hyde collected three hits, Aaron Hinzman two and Andrew Barker had a second-inning home run.
The loss ended a string of three straight sectional titles for the Raiders, who finished the season at 12-13. It also marked the first losing season for Roane since 2004.
Ritchie opened the best-of-three series Monday at home with a 3-1 victory as they got to Roane’s Zach Reed for seven hits and handed him his first loss of the season. Reed (7-1) struck out seven and walked none. Alex Villers of the Rebels tossed a four-hitter and struck out nine with no walks. Jarvis had a pair of hits for the Raiders.
Facing elimination, Roane came back in the nightcap with a 4-1 win behind the pitching of Josh Jones, who allowed only five hits. Aaron Parsons went 2-for-3 for the winners with a double and Jones also doubled.
