SLU plated a run in the top of the fourth to extend its lead to 3-1, but UIW answered in the bottom of the frame. Lee Thomas singled to drive in Flores and narrow SLU's advantage to 3-2.

After three scoreless innings, UIW extended its lead in the bottom of the seventh, using a Smith RBI sacrifice fly and a Thomas two-RBI to go up 7-0. SLU scored two runs in the top of the ninth, but the Cardinals secured the 7-2 victory in game two to split the doubleheader.
