The Bucs sent 21 men to the plate in the first two innings, scoring 12 runs off Triton starter Pat Feehan (4-7). He lasted 1.2 innings, giving up seven hits, three walks and two hit batters, striking out just one.
Glenn Zavitz (4-0) picked up the win for the Buccaneers. He tossed five innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and four walks, striking out one.

In game two, the Tritons (15-32, 4-17 SSC) jumped out to the early lead. Ryan Searage walked to lead off the second inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Sam DeVito. Matt Lichtenburg later scored on an error for a 2-0 lead.
The Bucs tied the game 3-3 on four straight hits in the fifth inning. Thornton had a one-out double, and Aranguren, Faraldo and Sanchez followed with singles to plate two runs.
Eckerd's Sean Riley broke the tie in the bottom of the fifth with a lead off homer, but Thornton tied it right back up in the sixth with a sacrifice fly to score San Juan.
In the seventh inning, Faraldo led off with a single and Sanchez followed with his 14th homer to give the Bucs their first lead. San Juan added an RBI single to put Barry up 7-4.
