Game 1 went in favor of the Johnnies as they'd belt a pair of 2-run homers in the early stages of the game to put them up 5-0. Saint John's went up 11-0 after the fifth inning and posted seven runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull away 18-0.

However, the Knights managed to get some runs in their final time at the plate and scored their two runs off of a couple of wild pitches. MLC's two hits came via Mark Vogel and John Westendorf, with Carlos Walta and freshman Brian Baumann scoring the runs.
