The Bison added a single run in the top of the second with an RBI double to left center, his second of the game by Haddson Adams, giving Lipscomb a 3-0 lead.

In the top of the third, DH Chris Bashlor drove in his second RBI of the game with a ground rule double to right field, pushing the Bison lead to 4-0.

Lipscomb scored a pair of runs in the top of the fourth and sixth, extending its lead to 8-0.

With bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth, Cocciadiferro blasted a grand slam over the left field wall, pulling the Highlanders to within four, 9-5.  NJIT started the rally with a pair of walks in the inning and double to left field by Julio Marcano.
