Playing its fifth game in three days, Henderson State fell behind UAFS 4-1 in game two before the Reddies began a seventh-inning rally.

Ben Wainwright led off the inning with a single and then was replaced by Taylor Coleman who entered the game as a pinch-runner. Matt Evans then reached base when he was hit by a pitch. After Michael Corso grounded into a double-play, Coleman scored on a passed ball to make the score 4-2.

With two-outs, Austin Coble received a base on balls and made way for Hawkins who entered the game to run for Coble. Zac Zdanowicz kept the inning going with a single to left field advancing Hawkins to second. Jeff Beck then doubled to left field to plate Hawkins and advance Zdanowicz to third.

 The comeback fell short as Carlos Rodriguez smacked a shot up the middle, but Lion shortstop Ozzie Hurt made a great defensive play to end the game.
