The Pilots knotted up the score when Samm Wiggins (Houston Baptist) lined a double down the left field line with runners on the corner that brought home Tim Lewis (Maryland) and it was tied 1-1 after six innings.
With two outs in the home half of the seventh inning the Pilots took the lead. Back to back walks and a hit batter brought up Tanner Giesel (Southeastern CC) who singled to right field bring in Wagner and Logan Boyher (Columbia).
