Andrew Morton earned the win after allowing six runs, five earned, in six and two-thirds innings. He struck out six and walked two.

After Limestone scored three in the top of the first, the Abbey got one back in its half and added another in the second on an RBI single by Patrick Atwell. In the third, the Crusaders took the lead for good by scoring five runs, and would add four more one inning later, getting back-to-back homers by Danny Brion and Justin Vasquez, and an RBI single by Spencer Sobol.

Limestone would push one across in the fifth on an Aldo Mendez single, but the Abbey responded with two more in the sixth, taking advantage of a Saints error for the first run and using an RBI single by Atwell. The Saints added two in the seventh and one in the eighth, but the Abbey scored one in the seventh on a run scoring double by Justin Baxley, and three more in the eighth, with two coming on a double by Daniel Kassouf.

The Abbey pounded out 22 hits as Sobol finished four for six with an RBI, while Atwell, Kassouf and Brion all finished with three. Brion and Vasquez both drove in three runs.
