The second run scored on a throwing error to home on a grounder to third with the bases loaded, followed by a Meyers RBI single and Wright two-run single. 
 
Oneonta scored in the fourth on a Cartier RBI single, but Cortland ended the game with a run in the bottom of the fifth as the result of an error, an infield single combined with another error, and eventually a Wright grounder to second that drove in the run, with Wright safe on the play due to an error.
