After Moon walked, Schoen doubled home both for a 2-0 edge. Four pitches later, Price went opposite field and hit a two-run homer off the scoreboard for a 4-0 edge.

In the third, Moon drew another four-pitch walk with one down. Schoen's single pushed him to second base prior to Price's single loading the bags. Goings' single plated a run for a 5-0 margin. Lankster's base knock drove in a pair of runs for a 7-0 advantage. Then, Ammerman blasted a three-run shot over the right field fence for a 10-0 lead.

Lankster reached on a fielding error and moved to second on Ammerman's single. Skylar Mercado pushed each runner up 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt. Chaz Pal took one for the team as he was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Parreira's sacrifice fly plated Lankster before Moon doubled home Ammerman. A passed ball scored Pal and Schoen closed out the scoring with a two-run homer to right field for a 15-4 score.

USC Aiken scored a run in the sixth and seventh innings. Pal's base hit drove in Ammerman in the sixth while Lankster's sacrifice fly plated Price in the seventh.

UNC Pembroke scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh, but USC Aiken's lead was too much for the home squad. Head coach Kenny Thomas' team added a pair of runs in the ninth when Price launched his second homer to right field for the game.
