Left fielder
After Tim Boyce pitched a 1-2-3 top of the first, North Adams scored first in the bottom of the inning. Left fielder John Schultz (Pitt) walked to lead off the inning, advancing to second on a failed pickoff. Brandon Macias (South Mountain CC) then scored Schultz on an RBI single to give the SteepleCats an early 1–0 lead.
