The Inside Story
In the first game, Oneonta could only muster four hits in the game. The Red Dragons scored their lone run in the bottom of the third.

After he advanced to second on a wild pitch, Jake Barrett gave the Red Dragons the lead for good with an RBI single. With runners on first and second, it appeared that Patrick McGee was going to be the second out of the inning when popped up into foul territory, but he was given a second chance when the ball was misplayed. McGee made it hurt with a double to center, scoring Barrett with an insurance run.
