With two outs, Senior Tyler Robbins singled and later scored on a RBI double from Senior Jason Krizan. Junior Ryan Behmanesh made it back-to-back RBI doubles with his shot to left center, scoring Krizan and giving the Patriots the go-ahead run.

Junior Kenny Hatcher capped off the scoring for DBU with his next at bat, singling to second base and sending Behmanesh across home plate for the 3-1 lead.
