Baranchak would then score off an error to make it 3-0 before Matthew Gibson would single to center field scoring Cecere. 

In the Fourth, Bloomsburg would answer the Lakers four runs with three of their own to make it 4-3. Baranchak would increase the Laker lead to two after a single to third base scoring Jack Elliott making it 5-3.  MU would tack on two more runs in the sixth extending the lead to 7-3, before Bloomsburg would put up five runs in the bottom half of the inning to take its first lead of the game 8-7. 

Surowiec would come up huge for Mercyhurst in the 8th doubling to right field scoring Schneider to tie the game at eight all.  The game would go into extra innings with both teams leaving guys in scoring position but it wasn't until the Baranchak triple to left center would score Surowiec to give the Lakers a 9-8 lead in the 18th.
