Tyler Pettorini (Ohio State/Wooster, OH) opened scoring with a base-hit to drive in Jake Blinstrub (Georgia Southwestern/Peachtree, GA), giving the bees a 1-0 lead. A failed pickoff attempt at first base allowed Mike Torniero (CCSU/East Haven, CT) to score from third to make the lead 2-0. Pettorini came around to score on a Teddy Schoenfeld (M.I.T./Boulder, CO) base-hit to the outfield, making the score 3-0.
