During the second inning, the home squad extended their lead to 2-0. Drew Dykstra walked and advanced to third on a single by Brody Ayers. Dykstra then scored on a wild pitch, giving Northwestern a two-run advantage. The Chargers were unable to score in their half of the inning, keeping the Raiders in control.

Wroblewski hit a solo home run with one away in the fifth, making the score 3-1 before game shifted in the sixth. The Chargers rallied with a six-run surge, taking the lead 7-3 on two hits and an error.

Despite the Raiders' efforts to regain control, the Chargers' offense proved too strong. Northwestern managed to record three hits in the ninth inning but couldn't convert them into runs, concluding the game with an 8-3 result in favor of the Chargers.
