Union would answer with a run in the bottom half of the inning before the Reddies took a 2-1 lead in the top of third on a single by Hayden Lessenberry which scored Johnson who walked and advanced to second on a base hit by Lance Fields.

The Reddies would tack on two more runs in the fourth with the help of doubles by Tadarious Hawkins and AJ Kruzel.

Lessenberry would have three of Henderson's eight hits in the game, while Kruzel would finish the game going 2-for-4.
