The Tigers fell behind early after the Bears (12-14, 1-7 MSC) tacked on a run in the first inning. Shawnee State took a page out of the Campbellsville playbook with a first-inning run off of Parker Loutensock. After a pair of groundouts back to Loutensock, the Bears started a two-out rally with with an infield single from Dalton Phillips, followed by a single in the right-centerfield gap from JT Boggs to put runners on the corners. Chase Thurber delivered an RBI single to put Shawnee State ahead, 1-0 after the first inning.
 
Campbellsville got the run back in the next half inning after Austin Peterson recorded one of his two RBIs on day. With two outs in the second inning, Horton reached base on a bunt single and after stealing second base, Peterson pulled a single into left field to score Horton. After Chris Taitague came into run for Peterson, Matthew Valdez singled out to centerfield, but Taitague was thrown out at the plate trying to score, which ended the the Tiger threat.
 
In the fourth inning, Campbellsville took their first lead of the game off of a bunt single from Peterson, which scored David Montoya.

Campbellsville loaded the bases with two outs and brought Horton to the plate. The switching outfielder batted from the left side, where he slapped a 1-2 pitch to the opposite field, which scored Marco Murillo – who pinch ran for Roberts in the 10th inning. The Tigers only pushed the one run across, which was just enough as DJ Wilson (1-1) pitched a perfect ninth and 10th inning to earn the 3-2 victory for Campbellsville.
 
Loutensock earned the no decision in the start throwing six innings allowing two runs on six hits, while striking out five batters.

After the two Shawnee State runs, Hooper settled down and retired the next three batters in order.
 
Campbellsville regained the lead in the third inning with a two-run home run from DePaul Blunt. The lead did not last long as the Bears put together another rally where back-to-back singles put runner's on the corners and then with two outs, Hooper tried to throw over to first base on the pickoff attempt, but was called for a balk allowing Levi Jones – who went 4-for-4 in the second game – to score from third base.
 
Following a scoreless fourth inning from both teams, Roberts delivered a moon shot over the centerfield wall to score two runs for the Tigers. With a 5-3 lead, Blunt was hit by a pitch and he moved up to third base after a groundout from Tyler Deason. On the groundout, the Bears tried to tag Blunt out at second base for the double play, but the throw from first to second hit Blunt in the helmet and he was able to move up to third on the play. Montoya drove in Blunt on the infield single to push the Campbellsville lead to 6-3.
 
Shawnee State pulled back within two runs after an RBI groundout scored one run in the sixth inning. After Roberts allowed the run on the mound in the sixth inning, he came back in the top of the seventh with a solo shot to center field for his second home run in as many at-bats. Montoya drove in his second run of the ball game with a double to the gap in center field scoring Blunt – who reached on an error.
 
Roberts returned to the mound in the seventh inning, where he retired the first batter, but a fourth single from Jones prompted Wilson to come into the game with the Tigers leading 8-4.
