After trailing 1-0 for the first two and a half innings, Saint Peter's registered their first run of the game on an RBI single by Justyn Carter up the middle to score Alberto Rodriguez from second, who reached base on a Broncs' error. Rider reestablished their advantage in the next frame, but a solo home run by Russ Stupienski to right field in the fifth evened the score again.
The visitors proceeded to score one run in the sixth, one in the seventh and four in the eighth to jump in front 8-2. Anthony DeLeo gave up three earned runs in two/thirds of an inning, while Dom Macaluso gave up one in 1.2 innings pitched.
