Skole scored a batter later on Caleb Ramsey's second single of the game to tie the score at one.

The Chiefs grabbed the lead for good in the fifth. Trea Turner reached on a fielder's choice and with two outs, stole second base. A pitch later, Matt den Dekker doubled Turner home to give the Chiefs the lead.

Syracuse capped the scoring in the sixth inning. Mario Lisson singled with two outs. Steve Lerud followed with an RBI double down the right-field line to extend the lead to 3-1.
