The Rundown
- After a scoreless top half of the inning for Mount Aloysius, the first Hornet run came across to score in the bottom half. Mountie starter, Seth Smith (Mapelton Depot, PA, Mount Union), did not allow a hit in the frame, but a leadoff walk came around to score.

They scored three runs total in the inning, on only one hit. The single up the middle drove in two of the three runs, giving the Hornets a 4-0 lead.
- Mount Aloysius answered in the top of the fourth. A sac bunt by Brayden Lackey (New Cumberland, PA, Cedar Cliff) moved Nicholas Belka (Freehold, NJ, Freehold ) and Douglas Smith (Massapequa, NY, Massapequa ) into scoring position after they reached base on a hit and a walk, respectively. Ryan Leonard (James Creek, PA, Tussey Mountain) doubled down the left field line, scoring both and putting two Mountie runs on the board.
