The Nittany Lions would go on and score one more run. McCarty pitched all seven innings and earned the win on the mound after another stout performance.
 
In the second game of the double header, sophomore Stevie Stevenson (Westampton, NJ) and freshman Jaden Himmelreich (Temple, PA) had a combine 11 RBIs to lead the Nittany Lions in their historic win.
 
Abington quickly jumped into a commanding lead in the first inning by putting up seven runs by the end of the inning. The Nittany Lions 'offense continued to ignite as they put up 4 runs in the 5^th and 6^th inning respectively.

During the bottom of the 7^th inning, Joseph Rizzo (Gibbstown, NJ), Aira IV and Stevenson all slammed their pitch over the fence for home runs to left field. The Nittany Lions had a comfortable 24-5 lead after seven innings of play in game two. Abington's record breaking run would come in the 8^th inning when Rizzo doubled to left field.
