The Trojans were in control of their own destiny to finish as Skyline Division Champs in the EPC. All they needed to do was beat Whitehall on the road, and that is just what they did with a 4-1 Win as Ryan Giovenco went the distance after getting the start. Whitehall was able to get on the board first in the bottom of the first after the Trojans saw Culan Wadsworth single and Matt Mellinger and Austin Mueller both draw walks in the Top of the first but were unable to score.

In the Top of the 2nd the Trojans made sure that the Whitehall lead was short lived as Mike Jenkins singled and Adam Mellinger and Dylan Miller was HBP followed by a Cullan Wadsworth single and a 3-1 Trojan lead. From that point on Giovenco and the Trojans defense held Whitehall in check with the side being retired in order multiple times.

The Trojans got the fourth and final run of the day in the Top of the 3rd after Adam Mellinger ROE and went 1st to 3rd on a Will Algard single and then steal of 2nd. Dylan Miller then walked and the runners advanced on a passed ball with Adam Mellinger scoring to make it 4-1. In the Top of the 4th Cullan Wadsworth singled and moved to 2nd on a CK Kinsley Sac Bunt but the Trojans did not score. Adam Smith doubled in the Top of the 6th and Austin Mueller ROE in the Top of the 7th and was pinch ran for by Collin Duff, but the Trojans did not plate any more runs on the day and finished with a 4-1 Victory and a Skyline Dision Title.
