The Seawolves jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Designated hitter Hayley Durham had a RBI single and later scored on a fielder's choice. Oberto drew a bases-loaded walk to give Stony Brook the 3-0 lead.

The Bearcats responded, plating four runs in the second inning, capped by a Devin Glezen ground out to give Binghamton its first lead of the game.

Stony Brook reclaimed the lead in the fifth inning. Posey broke a 4-4 tie with a two-run double to right field and scored one batter later on a double by Oberto.
