Once again, Chris Manning (Valparaiso) led off the game with a walk and stolen base putting him in scoring position in the bottom of the 1st inning. After two outs, Ryan Krill (MSU) knocked in Manning for the first run of the game on a single to right field. The Chinooks took an early 1-0 lead after the 1st inning.

Brant Valach (Eastern Illinois) led off the bottom of the 5th inning with a double for the Chinooks. After advancing to 3rd on a fielder's choice, Harrison Bader (Florida) knocked in Valach on an infield single. They inched closer but the scoring stopped as the Chinooks fell 5-2.

Chinooks starter Tyler Thicke (UW-Milwaukee) had a good start going until the 3rd inning. He gave up 4 runs on 5 hits and recording 3 strikeouts. The relief pitchers came in and shut down the Bombers allowing one run, but the Chinooks could not produce enough runs to regain the lead.
