The Eagles opened the scoring in the second inning with a single marker, before Stockton answered with a pair of runs, knocked in by Avagnano, in the top of the third for a 2-1 lead. Schwinn plated a run to make it 3-1, before the Eagles knotted the game on a two-run homer for a 3-3 tie after four frames.
 
Both teams went scoreless through the next three innings, when Stockton took over the contest. A run in the seventh inning and five more in the eighth gave Stockton an insurmountable 9-3 advantage.
 
Russell Halvorsen (Howell/Howell), who scored three times, and Max Kaplan (Wall/Wall) each drove in a pair of runs in the stanza. The Ospreys closed out the game with three runs in the final inning for the 12-3 victory. Dom Vizzoni (Trenton/Notre Dame) led all players, scoring four runs in the game.
