In the bottom of the eighth speedster Jordan Oshiro worked a one-out walk and made his way to second on a throwing error by the HNU pitcher. Derek Nakasato would follow up by crushing a double to left-center scoring Oshiro.The late run proved to be enough as Trovato was able to set down all three HNU batters in the top of the ninth to pick up the victory.

After a brief rain delay in game one, game two would prove to be an even rainier affair.

John Albert got the start in game two for HPU, giving up just two runs on four hits, but walked five Hawks batters in three innings of work. Christie entered the game for the Sea Warriors in the fourth and set down six of the seven batters he faced while only allowing one walk.
