Junior Ralph Alloco tied the game back up at three apiece in the bottom of the second with a sacrifice fly to left, plating freshman Jack Schutzius.

Both teams settled in for the third inning, but Dayton jumped on top of BWU once again in the fourth when freshman Aaron Huesman scored on a wild pitch. Sophomore AJ Ryan added to the advantage with an RBI single up the middle, extending Dayton's lead to 5-3.

The Yellow Jackets closed the gap in the fifth with a single run, narrowing the Flyer advantage to just one run.
