In the top of the first, Brandt Holland (North Alabama) gave the Dutchmen a 1-0 lead off a two out single that scored Trace Tyre (Ole Miss). 

 

The Outlaws quickly responded in the bottom half of the inning scoring one run on an Ian Fair (Northeastern) double that scored Chandler Engel (South Carolina Sumter) tying the game at one.

 

In the top of the fifth, Zach Durfee (Siena) scored on an error giving the Dutchmen a 2-1 lead. Durfee went on to score an insurance run in the seventh on a Justin Childers (Ohio Dominican) sacrifice that gave the Dutchmen a two run lead they would not surrender.

 

Jeremiah Burke (Georgetown) relieved Grabek in the fifth inning and pitched 2.1 perfect innings, striking out three, to solidify the 3-1 Albany victory in game one of the doubleheader.

 

In the second game, the Dutchmen bats exploded scoring in double digits for the third time in four games, taking down the Outlaws 11-1.
