Finn would advance to third on a groundout, before being brought home off a groundout to the catcher by Jr. C Doug Walters (Brighton/Brighton). Sr. OF Yoan Delrosa (Bronx, NY/Morris) followed with a single before Jr. OF Jose Corneil (Bronx, NY/Norman Thomas) would reach on an error by the catcher to give the Scots two runners on base with two outs. The inning would end with a fly out to put Alma up 1-0 after the first half inning.

The Hornets would quickly respond, putting up two runs in the bottom of the first to take the 2-1 lead after one.

The score remained 2-1 until the bottom of the third when Kalamazoo would add four more runs to extend the lead to 6-1.

The home team would tack on two more runs in the fourth to stretch the advantage to 8-1 with three innings remaining.

With two outs in the bottom of the seventh and the score still 8-2, Delrosa dropped a single to center field then advanced to second on a wild pitch.  Jr. OF David Carles (Staten Island, NY/Petrides) followed with a walk, then Sr. IF Juan Dominguez (New York, NY/Blue Ridge) recorded a single to load the bases. Sr. OF Blake Leddy (Saginaw/Swan Valley) stepped to the plate and hit a single to center, scoring Carles and Delrosa to cut the deficit to 8-4 with two outs.
