  • Xavier Bussey hit a home run to center field in the third, getting the run back for the Aggies and making it a 3-1 game. Later in the frame, with runners on the corners, the runner at first got caught in a rundown, but the runner at third scored to give North Carolina A&T a 4-1 advantage.
  • Freshman catcher Andrew Whinney led off the fourth with a walk, and freshman second baseman Brendan Jones singled to put runners on the corners with nobody out. McElroy singled to left-center to bring Holy Cross within 4-2 and freshman shortstop Connor Peek hit a deep sac fly to make it a 4-3 game.
  • North Carolina A&T put runners on second and third with nobody out in the seventh, and back-to-back sacrifice flies to right field extended the lead to 6-3.
  • Holy Cross put two runners aboard in a two-out rally attempt in the ninth, with back-to-back singles from McElroy and Peek, but a diving catch on a deep fly by Cooney ended the game.
