Hartford will take on the winner of this afternoon's game between Stony Brook and UAlbany in an elimination game on Friday night. First pitch is tentatively slated for 7 p.m. (but likely will start later).
 
HOW THEY SCORED:
• Just as it was in Thursday's ballgame, the pitchers were both on early, with Binghamton's Jake Cryts and McKay going zero for zero into the fifth.
• The Hawks bats got rolling in the top of the fifth, though, starting with a T.J. Ward single that was followed by an RBI double off the bat of Bardzell to make it 1-0.
• After a flyout, Wilson delivered a sac fly to left to score Bardzell for a 2-0 lead for the Hawks.
• Hartford then rallied with two outs, as David MacKinnon singled to left and came all the way around from first on Chris DelDebbio's roller to the right-center field gap that pushed the lead to 3-0.
• Erik Ostberg followed by drilling a single up the middle to make it 4-0 at the end of the frame.
• McKay found himself in trouble in the bottom of the fifth, but got an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play with the bases loaded to emerge unscathed.
• The score remained 4-0 into the seventh, when Bardzell singled to start the inning, and two batters later, Wilson drilled a ball over the wall in left center for his third home run of the season, a two-run shot, to make it 6-0.
• The score remained that way until the ninth when the Bearcats made their momentous comeback.
