Danny Morris started the scoring in the first with a home run to dead center field. The Dragons added another run when freshman catcher Logan Forloines hit his first home run of the season. Monroe picked up two more runs with a 2-RBI single by senior Jason Nave in the bottom of the third.
The Dragons gave back 3 runs in the sixth inning because of some poor defense. The Gobblers took the lead in the seventh inning 5-4. Kris Thomas led off the bottom half of the inning with a single.
