Somerset took an early 1-0 lead on Anthony Volpe's RBI double in the third inning.
The Fightins took the lead back in the bottom of the fifth inning. Ali Castillo led off with a double. He scored to tie the game when the Patriots' pitcher made an error throwing to first base on Rijo's bunt single. Rijo advanced to third base on the error. Guzman followed with an RBI single and scored on Friscia's RBI double.
The Patriots forced four walks in the eighth inning to plate their second run. Braden Zarbnisky took the mound and induced an inning-ending double play.
