After Cota set Hampden down in order in the first inning, Dominic Mowrer led off the Orono-Veazie half of the inning with a triple. Mowrer later scored on a wild pitch to provide Cota with the only run he would need. Two outs later Cota tripled and came into score on a Tyler Eddy RBI single to put O-V on top 2-0.
