VA Wesleyan's bats came alive in the bottom of the fourth as they erupted for nine runs and then scored one more in the fifth to lead, 12-1. CNU put a five-spot on the board in the top of the sixth and the Marlins added a single run in the bottom of the inning as well as one more in the eighth.

Alex Owen went 2-for-4 with a home run. David Fennessey finished 2-for-2 with two RBI and Thomas Drewry was 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI.
