The two runs created a 2-0 advantage for the visitors until Cory Dick ripped an RBI single to make it 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth. The Mounties tied the ballgame up in the seventh inning after a Kirk Davis groundout brought in Wardwell.

In the home eighth, Bryn Brown lasered a one-out triple before Jesse Bortner brought him in with a sacrifice bunt to give the Mounties their first lead at 3-2. Mount Aloysius couldn't shut the door in the visiting ninth as Behrend tied things up at 3-3 with a one-out RBI single.

With one out in the Mounties at-bat in the ninth, Helsel continued his hot hitting with a double. Kirk Davis then came up with the game's winning hit with a double to bring in Helsel and give Mount Aloysius the two-game sweep.
