Eli Meredith singled to open the game  and scored three batters later on Goldson's blast to right field, giving the Griffins an early 2-0 lead. 

The Golden Eagles got a run back in the bottom of the first before the Griffins took advantage of an infield error in the third inning with runners at the corners.  The error allowed Nate O'Donnell to score from third with CHC's third run of the game and take a 3-1 lead.

Clarion closed within one, 3-2 in the bottom of the third and took a 5-3 lead in the sixth when their first three batters all reached base and later scored ending Kiefer's day on the mound.  CU tacked on three more unearned runs in the eighth inning to make the score 8-3.

In the Griffins' final at-bat, the team went down in order to give the Golden Eagles the win.
