Augustyn scored on an Atwood single in the first inning to give Hamilton a 1-0 lead. Williams (14-9-1, 7-2) took control with two runs in the first, second and third innings for a 6-1 lead.

The Continentals rallied with four runs in the top of the sixth. After three walks to load the bases, a single by Peters drove in two runs. Vigneau followed with a double to drive in two more runs, but a ground out and a fly out ended the rally with runners at second and third.
 
Rob Barbieri ’13 started on the mound for Hamilton in Game 2, pitched 1.1 innings and took the loss. Stephen Wright ‘12, John Wulf ‘12, Eli McCargar ‘10, Alex Potoczak ‘13 and John Summa ‘12 all made relief appearances. Wright and McCargar struck out two batters apiece.

Hamilton grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first when Buicko scored on a double by Prindle. Williams scored four runs in the bottom of the inning and three more in the second. The Ephs added to their lead with one run in the fourth for an 8-1 advantage.
 
The Continentals made the score 8-2 with one run in the top of the sixth. Mayberry struck out swinging but the ball got away and the catcher had to throw him out at first. Buicko was able to score on the throw. Williams regained its seven-run lead with another run in the bottom of the frame.
 
Hamilton rallied to score five runs in the seventh inning to get within 9-7. A single by Matt drove in the first run. Buicko followed with a sacrifice fly to center to drive in a run, and Augustyn singled to center to plate another. Mayberry's double to center drove in the final two runs. Williams answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh for the final margin.
 
The Continentals travel to Duffy Fairgrounds in Watertown, N.Y., to play a non-conference game against St. Lawrence University on Wednesday, April 21.
