Stetson kept BYU scoreless and extended its lead to 5-0 in the fifth inning with a three-run rally. Junior Landon Russell contributed a two-run triple to deep center field, highlighting the frame.

BYU began to chip away, closing the gap to 5-2, but Stetson added an insurance run in the ninth. Junior Landon Moran's RBI single made it 6-2 in favor of the Hatters. BYU scored three more runs before the game ended, but closer Zane Coppersmith struck out the final two batters to seal the 6-5 win.
