Morningside and Bethany found themselves tied at two after the first inning. The Swede bats found their sweet spot as they added two runs in the second and three in the third. However, Morningside's offense was consistent, scoring in the second, third, fifth, and tied the game in the seventh. The Morningside bats caught fire with a five-run ninth inning, but the Swedes proved resilient as they scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth to walk away with a 12-11 extra-inning victory.

Senior Daryl Schlepp led Bethany with a 4-for-6 performance, tallying four RBIs and four runs. Senior Aaron Larsen and junior Logan Kanamu tacked on two hits while juniors Phillip Rowland and Evan Bloem and freshman Curtis Clayton added one hit each. Kanamu and junior Reynaldo Garcia each had three RBIs as Rowland and freshman Jake Webster had one RBI apiece.

Larsen pitched seven innings, allowing six hits, four earned runs, and seven strike outs. Junior Cory Robbins threw an inning in relief as seniors Christian Martinez and Bryan Wojtkiewicz came in as relief. Junior Alex Fambrough closed out the game and picked up the win in the Swedes' comeback.
