After Babson restored their six-run advantage in the bottom of the fourth frame, the Wildcats cut the lead back to three in the top of the sixth.  Kelly doubled home Riley Hasson (South Portland, Me.) for the final run of the frame.

The Beavers added three runs in the bottom of the sixth and seventh innings, taking a 12-6 lead which they eventually won the game by.
