Johnson & Wales responded in the bottom of the second with an RBI single by sophomore Waldis Garcia (Lowell, Mass.), but Babson regained the lead in the top of the third on a sacrifice fly by Ahern. Once again the Wildcats responded in the bottom of the third when a two-run double by junior Jonathan Melendez (Providence, R.I.) gave the team a 3-2 lead, but Babson moved back in front in the top of the fourth after an RBI single by senior Matt Delaney (Newton, Mass.) and an RBI groundout by Ahern. The visiting Beavers broke the game open with five runs in the top of the fifth, including a two-run single by Ahern, putting the team ahead 9-3.
