Corona hit a solo home run in the second and tagged a three-run shot in the third to give the Deacons a 9-0 lead.
Derek Wood singled to drive in George Mason’s only run in the fifth inning.
Logan Rumberg (4-2) started for George Mason and allowed three hits, walked three and gave up six earned runs in 2 ⅓ innings.
