Maryville regained the lead in the bottom of the frame as Elias Stevens hit a sacrifice fly to right field to drive in Dominic Connolly from third to give the Saints a 2-1 advantage.
 
Rockhurst once again tied the game in the sixth with an RBI single to left to draw even with Maryville at 2-2. The Saints took the lead for good in the home half of the eighth as Hoff scored Jamie Young from first with a double down the left field line and then scored on a Polak single to shallow right field to give Maryville a 4-2 lead.
