After freshman Casey Brown (Easton, Pa. / Easton Area) reached on a walk, fellow classmate Ryan Jasiecki (Ledgewood, N.J. / Roxbury) drove in the first run of the afternoon with an RBI single that scored Daniele.

After Haddix's lost his no hitter, he proceeded to walk senior Chris Ohlweiler (Verona, N.J. / Verona) and sophomore Michael Caprari (Candor, N.Y. / Owego Free Academy), when gave Centenary a 2-0 lead. Centenary was able to get one more run across the plate in the 10^th as senior Nick Koffel (Perkiomenville, Pa. / Perkiomen Valley) reached after getting hit by a pitch, which scored Jasiecki.

Game 2: Centenary 4, Marywood 3
Senior Jimmy Kraivec (Sayreville, N.J. / Sayreville War Memorial) improved to 4-0 with five strikeouts, while only two hits and one earned as the Cyclones survived a late rally from Marywood. Centenary jumped out to a 4-0 lead with three RBI's from junior Sal Smith (Toms River, N.J. / Toms River North) in the second and the fourth.
