NWU answered back as they tied the game in the third inning. Two singles and back-to-back hit batters plated one run, then another scored on a wild pitch.

After Mount Marty took the lead on solo home run by Jason Schmidt, NWU exploded for four runs in the fourth.

Alex Heideman had an RBI single and Josh Ostrom drove in two runs with a single. Beau Kelly then hit an RBI single as NWU still had no outs.

However, a botched suicide squeeze play ended with a strike out, caught stealing to end the threats.

NWU did not score the rest of the way.

Leading, 7-6 in the bottom of the seventh, Mount Marty's first batter reached on an error. He would eventually score on a single by Schmidt to tie the game and send it to extra innings.
