In the third, junior Trevor Thorstensen lined an RBI single, sending home Ciamillo and giving AU a three-run lead. 

In the bottom half of the fifth, Adelphi would take a 4-0 lead when Ciamillo scored from third on a wild pitch. In the sixth, the Panthers would add two more runs, their final two of the game, on RBI singles from senior Anthony Anzalone and Ciamillo.
