Marywood got two runners on base on walks, and they advanced to second and third on a wild pitch and stolen base. The first run scored on a fielder's choice as the Mighty Macs were unsuccessful at cutting the runner down at third. Marywood then loaded the bases on another walk, which set up two runs scoring on Austin Takvor's single through the left side for a 3-0 lead after the top of the first.

The first three batters of the inning all reach as Pat Devenney singled through the right side to begin the inning. Jason McCormick then reached base on a hit by pitch, and Howie Kalamets singled to right field that Devenney allowed Devenney to score from second. Following McCormick advancing to third on a fly ball and Kalamets stealing second, Justin Dempsey singled through the left side and advanced to second on the throw home as both runners scored. Matt Simon then doubled to score the Mighty Macs' fourth run and tie the game, 4-4.

Marywood had its chances into the fifth and sixth but came up empty. The Pacers tried to even the game in the top of the seventh as they loaded the bases with no outs. However, Kyle Bacher was able to get a strikeout, pop up and fly ball to leave all the runners stranded and preserve the 7-4 win.
