The Pioneers sent a rocket over the wall in left to add three more to the lead at the top of the fifth, with a fourth coming home on a wild pitch.

Alex Exarchakis (Monroe, N.Y./Monroe Woodbury) scored Goohs with a single into right field, followed by a shot down the left line to bring home Alex Enjem (Derby, Conn./Derby), putting the game within five in the bottom of the sixth.
