Sophomore Robert Bennetti (Laurence Harbor, NJ/Old Bridge) tossed two scoreless innings in relief of Bartlett. Senior Joe Doerrer (Middletown, NJ/Raritan) and junior Adolfo Lopez (Ontario, CA/Ontario) also drove in runs. Chris Rutigliano had two of Concordia's four hits.

Sophomore righty Chris DeRogatis (N. Arlington, NJ/Queen of Peace) followed Bartlett's lead in Game 2, holding the Clippers hitless through five innings.

After Concordia put two runs on the board in the top of the sixth, senior Jorge Ynoa (Bayside, NY/Bayside) singled home sophomore Paul Nyitray (Cranford, NJ/St. Joseph) and Lopez hit a two-run double in the seventh to extend the lead to 10-2.

DeRogatis allowed two runs on two hits in six innings to improve to 1-2 on the season. Sophomore Gary Gurino-Burns (N. Massapequa, NY/Plainedge) pitched three innings to earn his first save of the season. Ynoa went 4-for-5 at the plate with three runs, while Doerrer and Lopez each had three hits.
