The Spartans got two more runs in the top of the second with a pair of two-out RBIs. Coe's first run came in the bottom of the second, loading the bases with two outs for Menke. Coe's right fielder drew a bases-loaded walk to push one home but CWRU got out of the jam with a strikeout. The Spartans added more insurance in the fourth and sixth, getting single runs in each frame to take an 8-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth. Coe fought back with two runs in the bottom of the inning with a clutch two-out hit from Dodd, driving home Ruby Kappeler and Hadyn Shoots.
