Dominican wasted no time as they recorded two runs in the top of the first inning for the 2-0 advantage.  Nick Delgado (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) got a one out single to right center field and then stole second to be in scoring position for senior Tony Blake (Windsor, Conn.) who hit the RBI single to right center and later advanced to second base on a failed pick off attempt.  Shortstop Oliver Christensen (Coral Springs, Fla.) hit a two-out RBI single to center field to score Blake.

The Golden Falcons scored a run in the fourth inning, but DC countered with a run in the fifth on the sacrifice fly ball to center field off the bat of senior Andrew Camardella (Pelham, N.Y.) to make the score 3-1.  FC cut within a run again in the seventh inning as they made the score 3-2.

DC added two more insurance runs in the eighth on a two out two-run double to right center off the bat of second basemen Kenny Harrel (Pompano Beach, Fla.) for the 5-2 lead and eventual win.

Delgado, Blake and Christensen all had two hits for the CHargers in the win.
