The Fighting Scots responded with four runs in the top of the second, ending Farmingdale State's 21-inning scoreless streak, as they went up 4-3.

The Rams knotted the game in the fourth after McGuggart doubled and scored on a ground out by Justin DiMartino (Bethpage, N.Y.). 

Farmingdale State took the lead in the fifth as Heyder brought home a run on a fielder's choice.

In the seventh, Wooster loaded the bases with only one out. Senior pitcher Johnny Dougherty (Kings Park, N.Y.) entered and forced a missed suicide squeeze and a strike out to escape the jam.

Dougherty (Sv, 1, 2.2 IP, 4 SO) pitched perfect eighth and ninth innings to shut the door and secure FSC's 6-4 victory.

Tied 3-3 in the second inning of game one, FSC sophomore outfielder Ryan Tam (Wantagh, N.Y.) registered a two-out, bases-clearing triple to take a 6-3 advantage. 

In the fourth, the Rams used RBI's by Tyler Diez (Levittown, N.Y.), Jordan Lambert (Plainview, N.Y.) and Aiden Mehmel (Mastic Beach, N.Y.) to go up, 9-5, but the Vikings responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning and four more in the fifth as they went on for the 14-9 victory.

In game two, the Rams used a four-run first inning, including a two-run single by junior catcher Ryan Plocker (Dix Hills, N.Y.), to jump in front.

FSC added a run in the third on another Plocker base hit to take an early 5-0 edge.

Salem State used a three-run home run in the fourth and a two-run double in the sixth to quickly tie the game at 5-5.

After sophomore pitcher Dennis Kelly (North Babylon, N.Y. - W, 2-0) tossed a 1-2-3 top of the seventh, McGuggart ended a nine-pitch at-bat with a walk-off home run over the left field fence to send the Rams home with the 6-5 win.
