Glens Falls struck early in this one. Danny Oliveri (Triton College) led off the game with a single to center off of Mohawk Valley starter Payton Caddou (Louisiana-Monroe).

Oliveri then scored on RBI Sac fly by Jake Veith (Tacoma CC) to make it 1-0. The Dragons went up by two runs after Oscar Rodriguez reached on a fielding error by the Mohawks, plating Hooper.

After one was out, a single by Colin Hawk (University of Indianapolis) scored Scocca to cut the lead to 2-1. Glens Falls starter Matt Sturchio (Western Illinois) then walked in a pair of runs to give Mohawk Valley the lead for the first time on the night.
In the bottom of the fourth, Glens Falls loaded the bases with no one out. Rich Guglielmi (Saginaw Valley State) singled, as did Bryce Aldrich (University of Indianapolis). Next, Oliveri was hit by a pitch. Mark Powell (Bucknell) then singled to plate Guglielmi and Aldrich to give the Dragons the lead back at 4-3. The Dragons continued the momentum when Hooper executed a squeeze bunt to bring in Oliveri to make it 5-3. The Dragons reloaded the bases after Powell and Hooper pulled off a double steal and Oscar Rodriguez (St. Thomas) walked. Colby Stratten (Indiana) picked up an RBI on a fielder's choice to bring in Powell for the fourth Dragon's run of the frame.
The scoring barrage continued in the sixth. Ryan Stekl (Canisius) led off for the DiamondDawgs with a double, and Scocca added a double of his own to plate Stekl. RBIs from Machonis and Chris Rave (Herkimer CC) knotted the game at six.
