The Warriors jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning, with sophomore Jake Schilling (Levittown, Pa./Pennsbury) walking before first-year Rick Trapanese (New Egypt, N.J./New Egypt) singled with one out. First-year Zach Pleska (Salem, Ohio/Columbiana) followed with a  single to center to score Schilling. A walk loaded the bases before Drozal was hit by a pitch to score a run. A fielder's choice scored a third run before junior Braden Campbell (Centerville, Utah/Cooper Hills) singled into left to bring in a fourth run.
 
A pair of walks and a passed ball set up another RBI single from Campbell in the fourth that brought in two runs. Campbell stole second and third before scoring on a sac fly from first-year Kai Foster (West Milford, N.J./West Milford) to make it 7-1.
 
In the sixth, the Warriors got started when Reeder was hit by a pitch before first-year pinch-hitter Matt Worth (Williamsport, Pa./Loyalsock Township) singled, setting up Schilling, who doubled to center field to score a run. Foster followed with another sac fly and an error allowed Schilling to come in and make it 10-2.
 
In the seventh, Lycoming tacked on two more after Penn College closed within six with two runs in the sixth. Pleska led off with a walk, reached second on a fielder's choice then scored on an error. Bailey, who reached via the fielder's choice also came around to score.
 
Cambell finished 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI, Schilling scored two runs, had a double and a RBI and Pleska went 1-for-2 with two runs and a RBI. Lycoming benefitted from eight walks and wrapped out six hits in the win.
