The Lightning won the nightcap, 6-0.

The Dolphins opened the scoring in the first game with a run  in the third inning. Freshman second baseman Zach Brush (New York Mills, N.Y./Utica Notre Dame) led off with a single through the right side, but was replaced at first by senior center fielder Justin Tuey (Kingston, N.Y./Kingston), who reached on a fielder's choice. After stealing second and taking third on a wild pitch, Tuey scored on a balk.

Goldey-Beacom tied the score at one in the bottom of the fourth. Designated hitter Marshall Awtry led off with a double to left center and came around to score on a single by shortstop Justin Hill.

Le Moyne responded with five runs on five hits and a Goldey-Beacom error. Tuey reached on a throwing error by the shortstop with one out and junior left fielder Jeff Wilson (Rochester, N.Y./Greece-Odyssey) and sophomore shortstop Nick Nevins (Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Roy C. Ketcham) followed with singles to load the bases. Tuey then raced home on a wild pitch for a 2-1 lead. Roden then launched a three-run homer to right center. After a pitching change, junior designated hitter Nick Hansen (Troy, N.Y./La Salle Institute/Hudson Valley C.C.) doubled down the left field line. Following an out, senior third baseman Nicholas Jacques (Ballston Lake, N.Y./Shenendehowa) doubled down the left field line to dive in Hansen.

Goldey-Beacom brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh, but the final batter was retired. Hill led off with a double to right center and moved to third on a groundout. After a strikeout, first baseman Zach Roseman singled through the right side to drive in Hill. Maxwell followed with a single to put runners on the corners and force a pitching change, but the next hitter struck out to end the game.
