Cumming's solo home run to left put Penn State Altoona on the board in the bottom of the second, and his two RBI single to left-center in the third made it 3-0.

However, Pitt-Bradford surged ahead in the top of the fourth. Rehak was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring home the Panthers' first run of the game, and Stein's two-run single down the right field line tied the score. Back-to-back RBI base hits from Nick Hall and Samuel Dreistadt helped the visitors to a 5-3 advantage.
