HOW IT HAPPENED
-  Mississippi College and Miles College found themselves in a pitcher's duel as the two teams combined for three hits through the first four and a half innings of the contest. Only four baserunners reached during the early stretch of the game. 
- The Choctaws broke the scoreless streak in the bottom of the fifth as they totaled four hits and capitalized on a Miles' error. Callier got the scoring started as he led off the frame with a solo home run to left field. After Ken Scott reached on an error, Kimel tripled down the right field line to plate Scott. Kimel later scored on a McGrew RBI single. McGrew capped the scoring in the frame as he crossed the dish on a wild pitch.
- MC added its final run of the game in the eighth as Callier swiped a pair of bags in the frame and eventually crossed the dish on a fielding miscue.
- Miles added its lone run of the game in the top of the ninth as Dylan Nivens scored on a Choctaw error.
 
ON THE MOUND
- Austin Chastang came on in relief and pitched the final two-thirds of the ninth.
