Game 1 – UMB 5, Southern Maine 4
  • Trailing 4-0 headed to the top of the seventh, Southern Maine equalized with four runs in the inning. 
  • The Huskies first three batters of the inning reached safely including singles from sophomores Dylan Firmin (Stratham, N.H./Exeter) and Hunter Brissette (Lisbon, Maine/Lisbon Falls) to load the bases.  Senior Cam Seymour (Saco, Maine/Thornton Academy) earned an RBI walk to give USM its first run of the game.  With one out, junior Anthony Poole (South Portland, Maine) made it 4-2 with an RBI single into left, before senior Jack LeBlond (Lewiston, Maine/Bridgton Academy) hit an RBI sacrifice fly to right for a 4-3 game.  Senior Christian Siciliano (Shrewsbury, Mass.) tied up the game with a two-out single to the gap in right before the inning ended to tie the score.
  • UMB regained the lead in the home half of the inning. Justin Gouveia singled to left to lead off and moved to second on a wild pitch.  Gouveia moved up one more base on a sacrifice bunt before Aidan Blake singled him home for the RBI and go-ahead run.
  • In its final two at-bats, Southern Maine went down in order and was unable to generate a run.
  • Poole and LeBlond finished the game with three hits each. Poole was 3-for-5 with an RBI, while LeBlond was 3-for-3 with an RBI.
 
Game 2 – UMB 14, Southern Maine 3
  • After trailing 2-0 following one run from the Beacons in the first and second inning, Southern Maine took a 3-2 lead in the top of the fifth.   
  • Siciliano drove in USM's first run of the game in the top of the fourth with an RBI single to left, and Poole drove in the game-tying and go-ahead run in the fifth with a triple. 
  • UMass Boston broke open the game in the bottom of the fifth scoring 10 runs – all on two outs – to surge ahead 12-3. The Beacons drew three walks around the two outs in their first five batters in the inning, and then scored the game-tying run on a wild pitch.  UMB scored its next three runs on two walks and a hit batter to lead 6-3.  Burris had a three-run single, and Brandon Gaer had a three-run home run to account for the final six runs of the inning.
  • Up 12-3, the Beacons tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the sixth, including an RBI sacrifice fly from Blake to trigger the 10-run rule.  In the top of the seventh, Brissette reach safely for Southern Maine with a single to start the inning, but the Beacons got the final three outs to conclude the game.
