Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

DePauw left two runners stranded each in the first and fourth innings, but none in the last five. Collin Einertson and Mike Hammel each had singles for the Tigers, while Boston Fields had two of Anderson's five hits.

Evan Bowling reached on a DePauw error that allowed Butcher to score. Bowling stole third and an error on the play allowed him to score.

DePauw's first runs of the day came in the bottom of the sixth as Tate Stewart led off with a double down the left field line and moved to third on Reid Pittard's single to left. Collin Einertson singled with one out, scoring Stewart. An error on the play also allowed Pittard to cross and tie the score. Mike Hammel's grounder to short plated Einertson and gave the Tigers a 3-2 lead.

In the seventh, Ryan Grippo led off with a single and advanced to second on Rick Okasaki's sacrifice bunt and to third on a wild pitch. Stewart followed with a run-scoring single to left.
