In the first game, the Toppers struck first in the top of the third when Ross Polizzi drove in Gavin Foley with an RBI single for a 1-0 lead.

Polizzi led the Toppers with an RBI hit. Gavin Foley, Yaidel Perez, Trace Roy and Cody Presley also recorded hits, and Jake Meilstrup added an RBI on a sacrifice fly for Blue Mountain Christians second run.
