  • Hayden Cooper was hit by a pitch to lead off the top of the second inning. A Brett Burrell single and Eric Newsom ground out gave DSU runners at second and third with one away.

Tied 1-1 after 2.

In the ninth inning,  Delta State had a runner at third with no outs, and runners at second and third with one away, but was unable to score the runners. The Tritons went down in order in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Tied 1-1 through 9.
  • Delta State went down in order in the top of the tenth. An Eckerd single, stolen base, and throwing error put the winning run at third with one out in the bottom of the tenth. An RBI single two batters later would seal the extra-innings win. 2-1 Eckerd final.
