Jake Norris's bunt would allow Seaton to get to second base. Nate Holt would get to second base after an error in the Lion's outfield. Seaton would get another run after a hit from Taylor (5-3). Kyle Lowke would take this momentum and send one down the third base line to send Nate Holt across the plate (5-4). 
  • Piedmont would fail to put any on the board in the first half of the eighth inning. Seaton would hit a double sending Logan Barbour across the plate tying the game (5-5).
