The Vulcan bats came alive in game one as they started the game with four runs in the top of the first; they broke the game open in the fifth inning with 11 runs on six hits and four costly Saint errors. They went on to add five more in the sixth.

Hilo was led by centerfielder Dayne Ogawa who was 5 for 5 with a double and a homerun while driving in seven runs. They had three other players with three hits in the game.

In the fifth inning Tom Barlow led off with a double to right center advanced to third in a single by Corey Grayson and scored on a sacrifice fly by Andy Cole.

The Saints held on to a shutout until the seventh inning when UHH broke out with six runs on four hits and two SMU errors to take the 6-2 lead.

The Saints were unable to string anything together in the bottom half of the inning and were hit with the loss.
