North Greenville chipped away at the lead with one run in the second inning, cutting the score to 2-1. The Crusaders knotted the game at 2-2 in the top of the third inning. Neither team scored in the fourth. North Greenville took its first lead of the game in the top of the fifth inning, adding one run to take a 3-2 lead. Lincoln Memorial answered back in the bottom of the inning when Kowalski drove in Bowen with a double to left field, tying the game at 3-3.
