Next, Elijah Barinas reached first on an error. A single from Tyler Korsky brought Petery home. In the next bat, Jack Curabba singled through the left side to set up Barinas for a run. A few batters later, a sac fly from Caleb Walker scored a run by Korsky. A few batters after that with the bases loaded, Joseph Schatz was walked and that brought Curabba home for the Pioneers fourth run of the inning.

The game slowed down in the middle with no more runs from either team until the eighth inning when Devin Mersmann grounded out to second to set up Curabba for the run. In the next at bat, Anthony Snyder reached first on a fielding error to bring home Walker. Either team scored in the ninth inning so the game would go into extra innings.

In the eleventh inning, Barinas doubled down the left field line. A few batters later, a double from Curabba scored Barinas a run for the Pioneers. In the bottom of the eleventh, the Panthers earned a run after a double to left field. On their next bat, the batter was intentionally walked setting up the bases loaded with one out.
