The Presidents (4-2) scored single runs in each of the first two innings and added two more in the fourth to take a 4-0 lead before Brockport (8-2) came back with a four-run rally in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game. The Golden Eagles took the lead with a run in the fifth and added two more runs in the seventh for a 7-4 lead.

Mike Gianni (Jamesville, NY/Jamesville-Dewitt) drew a one out walk to put runners at the corners and Grande followed with a run-scoring single. Gianni moved to third on the play and scored on an infield ground out fielder's choice play off the bat of Jake Coleman (Hilton, NY/Hilton).
