Garrett Kelly of Edison State Community College hit the tournament's first home run to cut the lead to 9-3. Then the Chargers used a sacrifice fly in the eighth to cut the lead again to cut the lead to 9-4. Kellogg CC used a ground out in the bottom of the eighth to extend the lead to 10-4. Edison scored in the top of the ninth on a bases loaded hit by pitch. The Bruins Kane Elmy got the Chargers to hit into a double play to end the game. Josh Geshel went six innings to claim the win.
