With two on and one out in the second inning, Himmelreich opened the scoring with a sharp RBI single through the right side. Later in the Inning freshman Bill Trimble (Yardley, PA) added another two runs with his single through the right side to give the Nittany Lions the 3-0 lead. Finally Zach Morales (Barrington, NJ) knocked in the final run of the inning batting into a fielder's choice.

In the bottom half of the inning the Quakers put a run on the board with a sac fly, but Abington still led 4-1 after the inning.

Himmelreich stepped up to the plate in the third inning and rocketed an RBI double down the right field line to push the lead to 5-1.
