* A three-run fourth gave St. Mary's a 4-3 advantage as Gavin Wathen hit a two-run homer in the inning.  The Nittany Lions responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning thanks to a two-run homer by junior Eric Rollins to give Abington a 5-4 advantage.
 
* Abington extended its lead to 9-4 after a four-run fifth inning that featured a two-run single by sophomore Steve Corrado. 
 
* The Seahawks came within one run of tying the game in the top half of the sixth after scoring four runs.

Sophomore Eric Stradling drew a bases loaded walk to drive in a run. Later in the inning Fogel drove in a pair with a double to left field.
