The Pride collected the first hit of the game as they got a two-out single in the third inning. The runner advanced to second on a wild pitch, and then tried to advance to third on another ball in the dirt.
Trey Martinez was able to gather the ball quickly and the runner found himself in no-man's land. Martinez ran him back towards second and then had him retired 2-4-5-3 to end the inning.
Towson got its first hit of the game in the fourth inning as Richie Palacios went the other way with a single through the left side. The shortstop then stole second base.
Palacios would advance to third on a wild pitch and score on the second wild pitch of the inning.
