In the bottom half of the seventh, Beaumont's Chase Taylor closed out BC in order, getting two ground outs and a pop fly. Beaumont took a 1-0 lead in the third inning after Ty Harrell drew a walk with one out and made it around after a stolen base and a single by Adam Morrow. BC responded in the fourth inning by scoring four runs. BC added another run in the sixth to stretch its lead to 5-2. In the top of the seventh, Beaumont loaded the bases with one out. Grady Talbot, who singled to start the inning, scored the first run of the inning. Talbot and Brandt Wilson, who was hit by a pitch, both scored on errors. BC committed two in the inning. Talbot score came with one out while Brandt crossed home with two outs. Then the wheels completely came off for BC, as Taylor smoked a double to the right field gap that brought in Jahkenane Antoine, Michael Hayes and Coridon Burkhardt. Taylor made it to third on the play and his three RBIs gave Beaumont a 7-5 lead. Beaumont's next batter, Morrow, drove in Taylor with a single. Hayes' run proved to be the decisive one. In total, all eight of Beaumont's eight runs were unearned. BC issued 10 free passes and committed three errors over the course of the game. In the seventh, BC plunked one and made two errors. BC outhit Beaumont 9-4. Jacob Lemoine was issued the loss while Taylor picked up the win for Beaumont.

Dillon Trahan started the inning off with a double. He scored on Bryson Banks' single. Running for Banks, Zach Cole and Dalton Dishon, who singled, both scored on Tannor Cervinka's single. All three of those runs came without any outs. Cervinka scored the fourth run after stealing second and then advancing home from a single by Mitch Hubbard. Hubbard was the starting pitcher for BC. He went five innings, allowed two runs, walked nine and struck out six. Jacob Brown and Lemoine could not hold Hubbard's 5-2 lead, however. Cole scored BC's fifth run.
