The Cardinals were down as much as 11, but the team showed its resilience when it mattered most. Entering the sixth down 14-3 the Cardinals began to mount a comeback. Rob Liddington Jr. and JD Gregson both crushed solo shots to left to bring the score to 14-5. Later in the inning, Daniel Calabrese scored on a fielder's choice to cut the deficit to 14-6 entering the seventh.

UIW would score two runs in the eighth to pull within three, 14-11. 

After a Cameron Caley RBI single, the Cardinals were down 14-12 with two men on and two out. Dalton Beck, who finished the game 3-6 was called out on a bang-bang play at first to end the game.
