Tied 1-1 after six full innings of play, the Beacons separated themselves with a pair of runs in the seventh and eighth innings, respectively, to improve to 8-1 at home this season.

Nicolas Notarangelo (Taunton, Mass.) gave Endicott a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a solo bomb to right field, his fifth round-tripper of the season.

Meanwhile, Joseph Millar (Lake Hopatcong, N.J.) put the Gulls in striking distance in the ninth via a two-run double down the left field line. Millar eventually advanced to third on a wild pitch, but Eastman induced a ground out to short to wrap up the win.
