Olivet scored once in the top of the fifth off starter Joe Tobia, and three times in the the sixth of reliever Derrick Walters for an 8-3 lead.

Fredonia State battled back in the bottom of the seventh. Doubles by Pagano and Matt Wojcik accounted for two runs. Pagano would also score on a wild pitch.

With Olivet leading 8-6, two outs and the bases loaded in the eighth, an infield error followed by a Grand Slam led to five quick unearned runs and put the game away.
