The teams traded innings in the first inning. Pace hit his first two-run shot in the third inning and the Knights held a 5-1 lead after three.

Derrek Etsell hit a solo homerun in the fifth and Pace hit his second two-run long ball in the sixth inning. The Knights added three more runs in the seventh inning in the 12-1 finals.
