Left fielder
Vermont got on the board quickly, scoring in the top of the first. After two quick outs, Mountaineers three-hitter Henry Dunn (Binghamton) was hit by a pitch. He advanced to second when Clay Jones (Alabama) was also hit by a pitch. Left fielder Steven Rosado (Troy) then drove Dunn in with a single to right center field, making the score 1–0 Vermont.
