Stonehill quickly jumped out on top in the first inning, with senior third baseman Scott Hackett (Bangor, Maine/Bangor) scoring on a wild pitch.

The highlight of the game for Assumption was in the top of the ninth, with runners at first and second for Stonehill when the batter lined out to Assumption junior pitcher Kevin Mayone (Saugerties, N.Y./Saugerties), who combined with senior shortstop Shawn Frigon (Worcester, Mass./St. Peter-Marian) and senior first baseman Drew Dombkowski (Southampton, Mass./Hampshire) on an inning-ending triple play.
