A Nick Barnez double allowed Brex to score which would end the inning with two runs for the Pride. A quick bottom of the first and top of the second gave the Dutchmen a chance to score in the bottom of the second to cut the deficit to one.
 
Brex and Yates helped answer the Dutchmen with runs scoring on a double from Yates and a Barenz single. The score was 4-1 after two. The scoring continued for the Dutchmen as they batted in two runs. Aaron Nuble and Jon Aman opened the top of the fourth with a walk. Brex's hitting continued to get hot with a single up the middle to add an RBI as Nuble scored. The bottom of the inning was a quick 1-2-3 for Curran.
 
The top of the fifth was a hot streak for the Pride with three runs scoring to make the score 8-3. Yates got things started with a double while Barenz headed to first after being hit by a pitch. Fremgen walked to load the bases with no outs. A Stephen Posner walk sent Yates home to score and forced the Dutchmen to make a pitching change. Nuble hit a single to send Barenz home. On a double play Fremgen score to end the scoring for the inning. The Pride saved the inning and left three Dutchmen on base to allow one to score.
 
As innings drew down, Boccio scored to add a run for the Pride. The Blue and Gold opened with two hits and a walk to load the bases once again. On a wild pitch, Boccio scored and advanced everyone. A long bottom of the eighth allowed the Dutchmen to score twice to cut the deficit to 9-6 but the Pride again left three on base.
