Brockport cut the deficit to two with a five spot in the fourth inning.  Daniel DelGaizo ripped a bases loaded two RBI double while Tommy Kretzler and Lou Miceli each registered RBI with a single and sac fly respectively.  The Golden Eagles would regain the lead in the top of the sixth with three more runs for a 9-8 advantage.  Eaton gave Brockport the lead with a two RBI double.

That lead was short lived as the Cougars rallied in their next at-bat with four runs to take the lead for good.  LoGiudice recorded a two RBI single while Zachary Marzano drove in LoGiudice with a triple.  Polizzano rounded out the scoring with an RBI sacrifice.

For the Cougars Polizzano finished with three RBI while Derek Walker was 2-for-4 with three runs scored in the leadoff spot.  Eaton was 3-for-4 with three RBI for Brockport in the loss.
