The Green Knights added to their lead with a pair of runs in the seventh inning to take a 4-0 lead. Hunter Larson scored on an error and Banovich squeezed in Adam Enwiya with the fourth run.

Klegin then had a run-scoring single in the eighth inning and Banovich added a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning. Hope scored a consolation run in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Klegin was 3-for-5 while Enwiya was 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Banovich drove in three runs and Jack scored two runs with two stolen bases.
