Simmons stole second before CJ Dugan was walked, allowing Brooks Hagedorn to drive in a pair of runs with a ground-rule double. At the plate for the second time in the third inning, Fernandez was walked before Won-Shasteen was walked with loaded bases, seeing another run come home, extending the Railsplitters lead to 6-0 after three innings.

AJ Hootman took the mound to start the fourth inning, retiring three straight batters by strikeout, allowing Lincoln Memorial to take over on offense. Following a lead-off double from Kasten Harvey and Kowalski being hit by pitch, Mast singled to left field to drive in Harvey. Simmons then singled to shortstop to load the bases. Hagedorn was then walked, seeing another run walked in for the Railsplitters. On the following at-bat, Fernandez flew out on a sac-fly to drive in Mast, extending the lead to 9-0. Although Bluefield State managed a pair of hits, they failed to add a run, seeing the game move into the bottom of the fifth inning. Lincoln Memorial added a quartet of runs in the bottom of the fifth, further extending the lead to 13-0 heading into the sixth inning. After holding the Big Blue scoreless yet again, the Railsplitters continued to pour it on, increasing the lead to 17-0 with a pair of homers in the bottom of the sixth.
