The 2010 national runner-up beat the Hawaii team 10-2 with a 17-hit attack. EP scored either one or two runs in seven of the eight innings it batted. Leadoff hitter David Belusky, the center fielder, was 3 for 6 and catcher Danny Blasy 3 for 4. Both scored two runs and had one RBI.

First baseman Tyler Peterson and right fielder Lance Thonvold hit back-to-back solo homers in the sixth inning for EP. Tyler Ruemmele started and went seven innings for the victory. He gave up just five hits and one earned run.
