Williams opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the top of the second. Sophomore Hilman Truss (Hamilton, N.J./Hamilton West), who drew a one-out walk, scored ahead of Williams.

Queens used a couple of big innings – six runs in the second and five in the sixth – to score 15 unanswered runs to secure the victory.

Williams picked up a two-out single in the ninth and crossed the plate on an RBI double by junior DeAndre Bowens (Rock Hill, N.Y./Monticello).

He scored in the third inning after reaching on a one-out single and a double by sophomore Alex Jones (Bear Del./Appoquinimink). The freshman outfielder opened the fifth with a double, moved to third on a Jones single, and scored on a wild pitch.
