With one out and two on, Stampfl lined out to the shortstop for the second out of the inning. Now with two outs, Brock Warren plated Anderson from second when he doubled to center field to make it, 5-2. Madigan moved to third on the play. Both runners later scored when Evan Olson parked a three-run home run to left center to go up 8-2 before the inning ended.

Lawrence pushed three runs across in the bottom of the fourth to close the gap and make it 8-5 and then scored another run in the bottom of the sixth to come within two.

The Red Hawks added three runs in the top of the eighth and a run in the ninth to go on to win, 12-6.
