The Warriors answered in the bottom of the inning.  With one out, Ryan Postnieks singled and then advanced to second on a wild pitch.  Jack Dennison walked to put two on and bring Marty Grisso up to bat.  Grisso put the ball into play as he hit a single through the left side to bring Postnieks in to cut the Bears lead in half.

However, the Bears answered in the top of the fourth inning as they were able to bring three more runs in to score.

Southern Wesleyan challenged in the bottom of the seventh inning as Gage Shaver and Cam Mitchem were each hit by a pitch to put two runners on and bring Niko Laing up to bat.  Laing walked to load up the bases.  However, the Bears were able to strike Jarrett Whitley out to prevent the Warriors from cutting into their lead.

The Bears continued to extend their lead in the top of the eighth inning as they brought three more runs in to score.  Lenoir-Rhyne went on to win the game in a 10-1 final score.
