The Bobcats opened the evening with a pair of runs. Senior outfielder Ben McClain led off with a base hit and senior shortstop Dalton Shuffield followed it up with an RBI triple to centerfield. Senior outfielder John Wuthrich was walked in the next plate appearance and junior left fielder Jose Gonzalez grounded out, bringing Shuffield across.
The Bearkats countered with eight runs across the first three innings, going up 8-2. Wuthrich connected on a solo home run in the top of the fourth and McClain swung for an RBI single in the sixth to cut the lead in half, but the hosts put up another four-spot on the visitors in the bottom of the inning, extending the lead to 12-4.
