The Saints added another run in the fifth when Kyle Brewer reached on a fielder's choice, moved to third on a single by A.J. Bsharah, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Zach Watkins to make it 3-1 in favor of the Saints. Anderson responded in the bottom half when Ryan Saxon singled to lead off the inning. Saxon moved to third when Don Ballard doubled down the left field line, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Patrick West to cut the Limestone lead to 3-2. Limestone added four insurance runs in the ninth inning. McSwain led off with a single. Drew Lydon followed with a double to left and Matt Still hit a pinch-hit two-run single to left. David Christ followed with a two-run home run to left field extend the lead to 7-2. Anderson mounted a comeback in the ninth when Clint Neville smacked a two-run home run to right. With two outs, Saxon doubled to right center, and Don Ballard drove Saxon home with a single to right center. After Jared Rikard walked to bring the go-ahead run to the plate, Zimmerman struck the final Trojan batter out to end the game. Anderson's offense was led by Saxon who was 2-for-4 with one RBI.
