Szczepanski drove in a run when he reached on an error. Senior Kaiden Vogelpohl (2-for-4) followed with a RBI double, freshman Kellen DeSimone added a sacrifice fly and Ellis capped the inning with a RBI triple.

Midview got back to scoring in the top of the sixth when it plated the final seven runs. Vogelpohl started the scoring with a RBI single. Ellis drew a bases loaded walk, before senior Damien Presser cleared the bases with a three-run double. After another walk, senior Brayden Widenmeyer delivered a two-run double to make it 13-0.
