Â
Quinnipiac would respond in a big way in the top of the second inning, scoring all eight runs with two outs in the inning. Cole Constable got the scoring started with a bases-clearing triple to knot the game up at three. The Bobcats took a 4-3 lead as Sean McCulloch reached on an infield single and scored Constable. With the bases loaded, Sebastian Mueller drew a walk to bring home Quinnipiac's fifth run of the inning. Christian Smith capped off the eight-run inning with a three-run blast over the left-field fence. Morehead scored five in the bottom of the second inning to knot the game up at eight.
Â
Quinnipiac put up another crooked number in the top of the third inning as they hung a six spot on the board. Kyle Garbowski started the scoring with a two-run single through the middle of the infield. Christian Smith followed up with his second three-run home run of the contest. Alex Irizarry followed Smith with a solo home run of his own to give the Bobcats a six-run lead. The hosts got four runs back on a grand slam in the bottom half of the third inning.
Â
After the Bobcats tacked on two runs in the fourth inning, Morehead State put up a four spot to tie the game at 16. With the bases loaded in the fifth inning, Sebastian Mueller hit a grand slam to put the Bobcats back in front. However, the Eagles scored six unanswered runs to take a 22-20 lead into the final inning.

Sebastian Mueller left the building again in the ninth inning to make it a one-run game. But, the Morehead State bullpen shut the door to seal the wild 22-21 victory.
