After the Griffins plated three runs in the bottom half of the third, the Blue and White's offense was back at it. Cabrini extended its lead to 9-3 as Crist's two RBI double highlighted the Cavaliers' five run inning.
Back-to-back RBI doubles by Miles and Diegel in the top of the sixth inning gave Cabrini an 11-6 lead it would not relinquish. The Griffins rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh, but Crist managed to seal the win.
