Camden Scheidt drew a walk to move runners to first and second ahead of a sacrifice bunt by Austin Simmers to put the game-winning run at third. Michael Galanos walked to load the bases. Wheaton (1-5) got a strikeout for the second out of the inning before Earley delivered the game-winning blow for the one-run victory.

Both baserunners moved up a base on a double steal. Liam Patton brought the pair home with a two-run single to left field.
 
The Little Giants added three more runs in the ninth inning when Scheidt started the frame with a walk. Galanos picked up a one-out single before Earley laced a triple down the right-field line to score both runners and cut the deficit to one run at 6-5. Reid tied the game one batter later with a single to short to tie the game and force the extra inning.
