- It didn't take long for the Eagles to take the lead, scoring two in the bottom of the inning off starter RHP Garrett Rupp. Casey legged out an infield single to start the game and moved to second on a grounder to short. Strem plated him with a double to right center. Sophomore Gian Martellini chopped one to third, which took a BC bounce, allowing runners to reach on the corners. Junior Mitch Bigras plated Strem with a single to left center.
- The Eagles added a run in the fourth as Alu drew a walk, stole second and third on consecutive pitches and scored on a wild pitch.
- The Crimson made it a one-run game in the fifth with Cunningham on the mound. Patrick McColl started the inning with a double to left and stole third.
