Golden Eagles 7, Bombers 2 (Final)

After being no-hit through four innings and falling behind 1-0, the Golden Eagles got the offense started as Jose Valerio (San Diego) doubled to lead off the top of the fifth inning and break up Bombers starter Matt Fyffe's (Eastern Kentucky) no-hitter. Glens Falls also received run-scoring hits by Jarrett Lukas (Maine) and Chad Stang (Midland). Lukas' single scored one and Stang's triple scored two. Stang and Todd Brazeal (South Florida) scored on an error and a passed ball to stretch the Golden Eagles advantage to 5-1.

The top of the sixth inning produced two more runs for the Golden Eagles when Valerio clouted a two-run homer to score Jonathan White (Vanderbilt). The field umpire over-ruled the home plate umpire's decision of a ground-rule double.

Jack Wagoner (Sacred Heart) started the game on the mound and left with the lead before yielding to Anthony Giansanti (Siena) in his second pitching appearance in as many days.
