In the fourth inning, Queens scored two more on a walk and a single from Connor Waiting. A solo home run from Knerr made the score 6-4 before the Knights responded with three runs off a double from Nick Piazza and a single from Justin Chong.

The remainder of the game belonged to the Lightning, starting in the sixth inning with sophomore Tyee Irving (Milford, PA) scoring on a wild pitch and then a huge grand slam from Keith to put GBC back on top.
