West Chester jumped out to a 6-0 lead after three innings in game one, before Saint Rose cut its deficit in half with three in the fourth. However, the Golden Knights could not get any closer as West Chester sophomore southpaw John Barr induced a double play to avoid any further damage.

with a two-run single up the middle to account for the three Saint Rose runs. Junior right-fielder Scott Hladik# then scored on a wild pitch in the sixth.
