The Beavers got on the board first in the bottom of the first. John Creegan drew a one-out walk before Rivera singled up the middle, giving the home team runners on first and second. The next batter, Michael Chasanov, reached on a fielder's choice that brough in Creegan on an error Thomas Salerno at short, giving CCNY a 1-0 advantage. 
 
The Bloodhounds evened things up at 1-1 in the top of the second. Agosta delivered a two-out double down the right field line. J.

John Jay threatened for more in the inning as Salerno stole second but was stranded as Tyler DeStefano was called out looking at strike three. 
 
Following a scoreless top of the third, CCNY scored four times in the bottom of the frame off Mauro in building a 5-1 advantage. Rich Cirigliano led things off with a walk followed by an infield hit by Angress. 
 
A sacrifice bunt from Creegan moved the runners over for Rivera, who connected on his second single of the game, this one to centerfield, bringing in both runners, making it 3-1. 
 
Mauro walked the next three batters, as Suprun drew the bases loaded free pass to bring in the fourth run of the inning, ending Mauro's afternoon on the mound.

CCNY added four more in the bottom of the fourth to increase their lead to eight, 9-1. Rivera checked off a triple to left center on his cycle quest, that brought in Angress, who led off with a single to left before moving to third on a misplay by Michael Manzoeillo in left.
