The Patriots were quick to respond scoring five runs in the bottom of the first to reclaim the lead, 5-1. DBU went on to extend their lead scoring five runs in the bottom of the second and four runs in the bottom of the third. After three complete innings the Patriots led 14-1.
In the top of the fourth inning SFA responded as Tyree Carr singled up the middle scoring Tom Biggs, cutting in to the DBU lead, 14-2. The Patriots were able to score one run in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend their lead, 15-2. In the top of the fifth inning Alex Gomez reached on a fielder's choice and scored Colton Griffin from second thanks to a throwing error by the second baseman. Nolan Brown then flied out to right field scoring Peyton Parker from third. The Patriots were held scoreless in the bottom of the fifth inning and after five complete innings DBU led 15-4.
DBU scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to extend their lead yet again, 19-4. In the top of the seventh inning Peyton Parker cut into the Patriots lead hitting a solo home run over the left field wall.
