- Babson answered in the second and third frames to put themselves ahead of the Lions, 2-1.
- After Oliger knocked the equalizing RBI double into the gap of left center in the second, Arena sent a line drive into left and brought in Brian McHale.
- The Lions had a chance to knot the score at 2-2 in the seventh with a runner on third, but the inning concluded on a fly ball.
