He was credited with two RBIs on the play and a 4-3 Delaware Valley advantage.

However, Alvernia tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out, RBI single by Reid Martin. Then in the 10th, the Crusaders had runners on first and second with two outs when Ahlquist singled and Todd Speilman came in to score the game-winning run.
