After the teams played a quick, scoreless fourth, West Virginia got back on the board in the fifth. CF Casey Hughston came through with a single to right, scoring 1B Albert Baur to jump out to a 2-1 lead. The offense wasn't finished there though as they kept adding on in the sixth inning. Tolman led off the inning with a double to deep right center and then scored on a single up the middle by RF Logan Hill. Later in the inning, 3B Daniel Arribas ripped a single to left, bringing home Hill to give the Black Bears a 4-1 lead. The teams were held scoreless in the final three innings which secured the 4-1 win for West Virginia.
