After Frank Mayo was hit by a pitch, and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Tyler Bivona drilled a single to first base to plate Mayo. After another walk and hit by pitch, the Setters had the bases loaded with two outs. After a Felician passed ball, all runners advanced and Tom Midolo was able to score. Gulino drew a walk immediately after that was followed by a wild pitch, once again advancing all runners and scoring LoBello. Shortstop Brett Bittiger ended the crucial run when he singled to score a pair of Setters.

Each team tacked on one run between then and the sixth inning when Midolo blasted a solo homerun to left field to give Pace an 8-5 lead over Felician.

In the eighth inning the Setters continued to stay hot offensively. Mayo crossed the plate on a pass ball before Gulino roped a two RBI single to score LoBello and Modolo and give Pace an 11-6 lead.
