The Monarchs got a quick start as they plated a run in the top of the second thanks to a leadoff walk from Quin Acchione and a two-out single from Gregory Ahlstrom as King's (16-21, 6-17 MAC Freedom) after the top of the second. Delaware Valley (15-22, 9-14 MAC Freedom) responded with a run in the bottom of the second and a pair of scores in the third to go ahead, 3-1, heading into the fourth inning of play.
 
Both bats slowed over the next two innings before the Aggies drove in another run in the bottom of the sixth and two tallies in the bottom of the seventh to see their lead swell to 6-1.
