Kamana Nahaku (Hawaii) hit his team-leading fourth home run of the season in just his 11th game in the sixth inning to make it 5-2 in favour of the visitors. Sky Collins (Fresno State) then scored a third run with some heads-up baserunning making it 5-3.
Tyrus Hall (Bossier Parish) came up with the bases loaded in the seventh and grounded into a fielder’s choice which brought home a run and made it a one-run ballgame. Ryan Deagle (Golden Tide) had three hits on the night but struck out with two men in scoring position to end the threat.
