Sophomore Chris Deddo (Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville) followed with a line-drive sacrifice fly to right field to give Maritime a 4-3 lead. Next, sophomore Stephen Semler (Kirkland, Wash./Lake Washington) reached on an infield single.

The big blow of the inning came from Woodburn as he roped a bases-loaded single to right field for his third and fourth RBIs of the game. Maritime finished the inning with a 6-3 advantage.

Poliwoda pitched the final 3 2/3 innings to secure the victory for his fourth win of the season.

In game 2, eight different Privateers tallied RBIs in the team's 12-4 win. Maritime pushed across the first two runs of the game in the bottom of the second inning on a wild pitch and an RBI groundout from freshman Jimmy Guerriero (Floral Park, N.Y./Floral Park). Monahan then hit a single through the right side to give the Privateers an early 3-0 lead.

Purchase then plated three runs in the top of the third frame on a two-run triple and a sacrifice fly.

The Privateers exploded for seven runs in the bottom of inning, as Woodburn added another RBI with a double to straight away centerfield. Junior Brian McLaughlin (Massapequa, N.Y./St. John the Baptist)followed with an RBI single up the middle. After a walk from Vieto, freshman Joe Scerra (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Joseph by the Sea) hit an RBI single. Guerriero and Monahan then racked up back-to-back RBI doubles to open up the game. Deddo added another sacrifice fly and Semler hit an RBI single to leftfield to score Monahan and give the Privateers a 10-3 lead.

In the bottom of the fourth, Vieto added his second home run of the season, a two-run shot, to plate McLaughlin and increase the Maritime lead to nine. Purchase added their final run of the game in the top of the seventh inning.
