In the top of the seventh Evan Vigna walked, A.J. Greco had a bunt single and pinch runner Henderson Concepcion stole third base to set up a RBI sacrifice fly from Sal Biasi. Tyler Rubasky followed with a single, and Greco reached home on an error on the play to put the Cougars up 4-2.

Cara drew an intentional walk and T.J. Chirico loaded the bases with his own walk to set up Barletta's two-run single. Wolfe capped off the scoring with an RBI base hit.

Rubasky finished the game with two singles and Biasi also had a single in Hazlton Area's eight-hit effort. Anthony Hernandez pitched a complete-game with six strikeouts to pick up the win in his first varsity start.
