* In the bottom of the fifth the Bison scored their first run after a dropped fly ball led to a run.  Gallaudet made things interesting in the bottom of the seventh.  With two outs and two on, Christina Elsbury singled to center to drive in a run.  Andi Sisemore followed with a two-run triple to make the score 6-4.  Despite the rally, Abington managed to record the final out to hold on to the two-run victory.
