In game two, Crim (1-2) had Nyack College (8-16, 5-6) stymied, striking out seven while walking one and allowing two hits over seven innings. Meanwhile, a fourth-inning, two-run double from senior shortstop Joseph Crane (Churchville, Pa.) and run-scoring double from  junior third baseman Raymond Puskar (Green Lane, Pa.) in the sixth frame gave Chestnut Hill College (13-19, 6-8) a 3-0 advantage. Puskar went 3-for-3 in the contest. Winterstein pitched the final two innings for the Griffins and struck out two for his second save of the afternoon (3).
 
The opener offered more drama with the Warriors tying the contest at 2-2 on a sixth-inning two-out single. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Crane led-off with a single to center field. He moved to second base on a sacrifice from senior left fielder Joseph Mullin (Warrington, Pa.), and scored on Lites' clutch single up the middle, 3-2. Hopkins went eight strong in the win (3-4), allowing two runs on five hits and a walk. He struck out six. Crane and Lites each recorded two hits and a run-batted-in (RBI).
