Jack Goodwin (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) opened the frame with an infield single and moved along to second on a throwing error. Goodwin got to third on a fly out and later came home on a single to right center field off the bat of Devin Tait (Staten Island, N.Y.).
 
Mount Saint Mary would push the go-ahead run to third in the fifth, but could not get it home before Old Westbury plated single runs in the sixth and seventh innings to open the final two-run advantage.

Mount Saint Mary responded with three tallies in the bottom of the first to slice its deficit in half quickly.
