Freshman Blake Reiff (Manheim, Pa. / Manheim Central) got the Lion's on the board first advancing to third base as Will Quiles (Tamiment, Pa. / East Stroudsburg North) scored on a wild pitch. Reiff added to Harrisburg's tally once again off of a single from Ethan Kell (Middletown, Pa. / Middletown Area), Kell scored next at bat on a passed ball.
 

In the eighth inning, the home team added four more runs, all four runs were a result of errors committed by Harrisburg.

Jared Smith (Mechanicsburg, Pa. / Cedar Cliff) started the Lion's run with a double to left field, advancing Scott Angstadt Jr. (Jarrettsville, Md. / North Harford) to home.
