SNHU took a 1-0 lead in the second then added two runs in the third.  A double by Patrick Copp (Greely, Maine) scored Jon Massad (Shrewsbury, Mass.), who had reached on a two-out single.  In the third, a two-run double by Bobby Wronski (Arlington, Mass.) scored Tim Rines (Merrimack, N.H.) and Matt Boulter (Wrentham, Mass.).

The Penmen would make it 4-0 in the sixth.  Copp would drive in his second run of the game when his single to left scored Chris O'Neil (Chelmsford, Mass.), who worked a leadoff walk.
