In the opener, Bowdoin scored three runs in the top of the fourth inning and added another in the top of the fifth on a Luke Chessie home run to grab a 6-4 lead. Trailing by two, Westminster scored runs on three-straight hits to reclaim the lead, going up 7-6. Junior second baseman Donald Shimko (Greensburg, Pa. | Greater Latrobe) doubled to right, junior left fielder Matthew Randza (Beaver Falls, Pa. | Blackhawk) singled down the right field line and junior shortstop Logan Murgenovich (Aliquippa, Pa. | Central Valley) singled to left field to cap the inning's scoring output. 

Bowdoin struck for five runs in the top of the seventh on run-scoring doubles by Kevin Murray and Chessie and a three-run double by Liam Foley.

Senior reliever Hunter Stellato (Struthers, Ohio | Struthers) took the game one setback and fell to 1-1 this season after allowing two runs (2 earned) on three hits with a strikeout in one-third of an inning. Junior starter Timothy Lewis (West Middlesex, Pa. | Wilmington) picked up a no decision, allowing five runs (3 earned) on six hits with a walk and a strikeout in 4.0 innings.

The Polar Bears plated three runs in the bottom of the sixth to cut the deficit to five, 9-4, before Westminster exploded for a nine-run top of the seventh.
