The Tigers made it 7-1 in the fourth when Sheehan reached on an error with the bases loaded which scored Jack Omstead before Callahan and Barnes each brought home two with singles.

The Eagles responded with seven in the bottom of the frame as they sent 12 batters to the plate and collected six hits.

DePauw regained the lead in the fifth when Williams scored on a wild pitch and Fitzgerald scored on Callahan's single to make it 9-8. That lead held until the the bottom of the sixth when Shulman drove in two with a double to give the hosts a 10-9 lead. Emory added two more in the seventh.
