The Colonels added a run of their own in the bottom of the first inning when Luke Spencer (Lehman, PA/Lake Lehman) flew out to right field, bringing Nathan Loch (Effort, PA/Pleasant Valley) in for a run to get Wilkes on the board. 

In the top of the second inning, Penn State added three more runs to their total, with Lucas Floyd recording a home run and Blaine and Adam Bova scoring off of a single to left field by Henn to bring the Lions to a total of five runs. A hit by Drew Sassaman in the top of the third inning brought Iriza home for the Lion's sixth run of the game. The Colonels recorded their second run of the game when Matt Show scored off a double by Loch in the bottom of the third.

Devin Markert (Pittston, PA/Pittston Area) scored the Colonel's fourth run of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with Show reaching first on a fielder's choice with the bases loaded, bringing Markert home. Penn State added three more runs in the top of the sixth inning, with Sassaman scoring on a balk and Floyd scoring off a fielding error by Wilkes' second baseman. Henn added the Lion's ninth run off a single up the middle by Demetre Kout.
