In the 4th inning with the score 1-0 in favor of Saint Augustine's, a John Wilson groundout to the short stop scored Nick Raynor to tie the game. Then a RBI single by Rasheed Bradshaw scored Carlos Gutierrez to give the Vikings the go ahead score at 2-1. In the 5th a sacrifice fly by Raynor gave ECSU a 3-1 advantage and the home team would add three more runs in their final at bat to close out the game.
