After waking up in the top of the third-inning, Missouri Valley continued to swing the bat in the top of the fourth. Towards the end of the inning, Angel Silverio advanced home on an error and tied the game at 4-4.
 
William Woods was able to gain a two-run lead in the bottom of the fourth when Tyler Bracht and Alex Wimer both reached home plate.
 
Ahead 6-4 going into the bottom of the fifth inning, William Woods decided to stretch their lead to 7-4 when Jones scored his second run of the contest on a Bracht double down left field.
