The Dutchmen took an early lead in the bottom of the first inning following three consecutive singles to begin the inning, including an RBI single by Cameron Masterman (Louisville). Two batters later, Jerry Huntzinger (Seton Hall) hit an RBI fielders choice followed by a run scoring double by Golston Gillespie (Ole Miss) over the head of the left fielder.
Saugerties got one back in the fourth inning when Tyler Kelder (St. Bonaventure) scored on a wild pitch after leading off the frame with a single.
The Stallions got to within one in the sixth after Derek Ripp (Arkansas) led off with a double and scored two batters later on a Noah Searcy (Georgia Southern) ground out.
In the seventh, a hit-by-pitch and walk put runners on first and second for the Stallions. Comer’s double swapped a one run lead into a one run advantage. Then, with two outs, Easton Bertrand (Minnesota) hit an RBI double to score Comer, which turned out to be the winning run.
Bertrand finished 3-for-4 with an RBI, while Comer was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run.

Good went on to pitch a 1-2-3 ninth inning to earn the save. Sam Byrns (Le Moyne) won the game in relief for the Stallions. He pitched three one-hit innings with a strikeout and no walks.
