Pace would score three unearned runs in the sixth, collecting a pair of hits but also taking advantage of two SNHU errors and a hit by pitch.  The Penmen would take the lead for good in the bottom of the frame as it scored five times, including a three-run double to the gap in left by Brandon Dutch (Monroe, Conn.).  All five of SNHU's runs came with two outs.

The hosts added two runs in the seventh.  Jon Minucci (Madison, Conn.) was hit by a pitch to start the inning and scored on a sac fly by Quicker.  Scott Rogers (Orr's Island, Maine), who followed Minucci by working a walk, scored on a wild pitch.
