  • Junior designated Matthew Elliott had a two-run home run to tie up the game, 2-2, in the top of the fourth. However, the Sailfish took a four-run lead, going up 6-2 in the bottom of the fourth.
  • AIC added another run in the top of the fifth; redshirt junior left fielder Reed Phillips notched an RBI single to bring junior center fielder Josh Aviles across home plate.
  • Palm Beach Atlantic added two runs in the bottom of the fifth and put up a four-spot in the seventh to extend its lead to 12-3.
  • The Yellow Jackets began to chip away in the top of the eighth; starting with a triple from Phillips, who was later brought in by an RBI single from freshman catcher Ian O'Brien. AIC would ultimately load the bases, with redshirt sophomore first baseman Andrew Ciacciarelli being hit by a pitch and Elliott reaching base on a walk. Freshman second baseman Angel Mendez walked in a run, and then junior shortstop Brendan Carter walked in another, bringing AIC within 12-6.
