After Jenkins and the Trojans retired the side in order in the Top of the 1st, in the Bot of 1 CK Kinsley singled and stole second but the Trojans did not score. Adam Mellinger singled in the Bot of 2 after Jenkins and the Trojans Defense worked around trouble in the Top of 2, but after 2 there had still yet to be a runner to cross the plate, this would hold true till the Bot 4 when the Trojan Lineup finally broke through to take a 2-0 lead over Northampton. Bot 4  Matt Mellinger was HBP and took second Mike Jenkins then singled and went to 2nd on the throw home, then Adam Mellinger plated them both with a single before stealing second and the Bot 4 ended wiuth the Trojans on top 2-0.

Bot 5 action started with Adam Smith and Cullan Wadsworth singles and CK Kinsley reaching 1st base after a Sac Bunt and throwing error on which Adam Smith scored. Then Matt Mellinger singled with CK Kinsley going 1st to 3rd as Cullan Wadsworth scored to make it 4-0. Matt Mellinger then took second and Austin Mueller was INT BB and the score after five stood at 4-0 Trojans. Jenkins and the Trojans Defense then retired the side in order in the Top 6 and worked around a runner in the Top of 7 to secure the Win and advance to the Semifinals of EPC Championship play.
