HARTFORD 6, MAINE 5
The Hawks struck first in the opening inning behind a one-out triple from John Thrasher, followed by a sacrifice fly to right by Derek Tenney to give Hartford the early 1-0 advantage. 

Trailing 1-0 in the sixth, Maine loaded the bases with no outs in the inning but came away with a run in the frame to knot the contest at 1-1. 

Knotted at 1-1 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning, junior Donnie Cohoon drilled a pitch off the centerfield fence and hustled all the way around the bases for an inside-the-park grand slam to put the Hawks ahead 5-1.
