The Falcons took the lead in the top of the second when they got back-to-back doubles, but the Huskies responded in the bottom of the inning and took their first lead of the game. Northeastern started the inning with three straight singles from Rob Fonseca, Ricky Salvucci and John Puttress to load the bases with no outs. Connor Lyons then grounded into a double play, but was able to get Fonseca home to tie the game. Oliver Hart then beat out an infield single that scored Salvucci to make it 2-1 before Jason Vosler grounded out to first, ending the inning.

Once again, Northeastern responded by scoring two runs of its own to re-take the lead, 4-2.

Matt Miller kept the inning alive with a walk, but Fonseca struck out looking to end the inning.
 
Leenhouts allowed back-to-back singles to start the top of the seventh to Brandon Howard and Jesse Rait, but then struck out Alex Davison and got Losby to pop out to second base.
