Asheville struck first with three runs in the top of the first, with Logan Lowe leading off the game with a single before Blaize Johnson singled to right field to put two runners on with nobody out in the opening frame. After a fly ball moved both runners up and a walk to Patrick Gillen loaded the bases, Jake Minarik reached on a fielder's choice to third base that allowed Lowe to score the game's first run. Ben Green delivered the big blow in the inning with a double to center that scored Johnson and Gillen for a 3-0 Bulldog lead. Radford scored once in the first and once in the second to get back within 3-2, before the teams traded scoreless frames in the third and Radford scored four runs in the fourth for a 6-3 lead heading to the fifth. After Lowe scored his second run of the night reaching on a fielder's choice by Owen Michelson, Radford added another run to keep their lead at 7-4 heading to the sixth. The teams traded runs in the sixth, with Asheville's run coming on a Tyler Parks steal of home as Radford led 8-5 heading to the eighth. After a scoreless seventh, Radford added one run in the bottom of the eighth to ultimately bring the game to its final score.
