How It Happened
-UMass Dartmouth struck first in the bottom of the first after a triple set up a sac fly.

-UMass Dartmouth regained the lead in the fourth with a solo home run.
-The Spartans threatened to get that run back in the top of the fifth, loading the bases with only one out, however, UD left the bases loaded.
-After UMass Dartmouth got out of the jam in the top of the fifth, they plated three runs in the bottom of the inning, two in the sixth and one in each the seventh and eighth innings to blow the game open.
