How It Happened (Game 1)
 
* Fallers hit the first of his three home runs in game one in the top half of the first inning.  After a run scoring hit by senior Gaetan Grandelli, Fallers stepped in and connected on a two-run shot to give the Nittany Lions a 3-0 lead.
 
* After the Chargers got a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, the Nittany Lions responded in the second.  Grandelli hit a two-out three-run home run and Fallers followed with a solo homer as the two went back-to-back to give Abington a 7-2 lead.

* The score remained 7-2 heading into the fifth inning.  Senior Josh McGee joined the home run party with a leadoff homer. Junior Corey DiMario drove in a run on a sacrifice fly later in the inning, while junior Paul Figueroa scored from third off a balk.
 
* Abington had another three-run inning in the sixth to increase its lead to 13-4.  Redshirt junior Garrett Garofalo scored Fallers with a base hit who led the inning off with a walk.  Garofalo would later score on a two-run single by Figueroa.
