In the top of the fifth sophomore catcher Tom Ellerbrook (Northampton, Mass.) drove in junior outfielder Mike Kulak (Bristol, Conn.) when he grounded out to first base. UMass tied the game at 4-4 in the top of the sixth when Gavin Clark singled to left field driving in senior outfielder Nick Gorneault (Springfield, Mass.) and junior designated hitter Connell Clark (Springfield, Mass.). The Eagles regained the lead in the bottom of the inning on a solo homer by Brian Durkin.
The Minutemen tied the game at 5-5 in the top of the seventh inning when sophomore second baseman Sean Sarno (Stoneham, Mass.) singled in freshman shortstop Cullan Maumus (New Orleans, La.). The Eagles then scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh to earn the 10-5 win.
