WHAT HAPPENED
- The Rams had 11 of their 12 runs scored on homeruns during the game, with the lone one being a triple that had a throwing error, resulting in a score

- Chestnut Hill got a run in the second, but Justin Egner and Holub had solo homeruns in the same inning to get their lead up to three scores
- The Griffins tied it up at 6-6 before Luis Beato Mora knocked a triple to center field. A throw fell right to the dirt, allowing him to make homeplate and to have Jefferson regain the lead
- Chestnut Hill used a three run sixth inning to go up 9-7. Egner had his second homerun to cut it by one. The Griffins held strong and went ahead 11-8 after the top of the eighth
