In the second inning the Raiders extended their lead when freshman Carter Hinds scored off an RBI double. The hit extended the Raiders lead to 4-0. 

In the fifth inning, the Raiders added another run onto their lead when senior Ben Werkheiser tripled to center field. Shilling scored on the play to extend the Raiders lead to 5-0. 

In the bottom of the fifth the Indians struck back scoring three runs in the inning. The runs cut down the Raider lead to 5-3. 

The Indians got a run closer in the sixth inning when Dawson Painter hit a home run. The run cut down the lead to 5-4. In the bottom of the seventh, Dylan Wilkinson hit a single to the outfield scoring one. The hit tied the game at five and sent the game to extra innings. 

Neither team was able to score until the 10th inning when Cameron Mills hit a single to right field which allowed Davis to score, and the Indians defeated the Raiders 6-5 in extra innings. 

On the mound for the Raiders Zegna allowed five hits and four runs in six innings of work in the first game of the series. 

The Indians struck first in the second game of the series when Mills stole second on a throwing error by the Raiders. The error allowed a run to score and put the Indians on the board 1-0.
