Jordan McGowan hit 2-for-3 with and an RBI and a run, and Wallace Rios Jimenez and Justin Barna each posted 2-for-5 efforts at the plate. Rios Jimenez and Kyle Jenkins had Alcorn's other two doubles in the game. McGowan and Christian Acklin stole a base while Devin Walden swiped a pair.
 
Starter Jahborus Smith (2-7) was handed the loss after getting tagged for nine runs (eight earned) on four hits and nine walks. The senior from Columbia, Miss. faced 27 batters and recorded three strikeouts in 4.0 innings. Tyler Smith pitched 1.0 inning of relief and Joe Smith threw the other 3.0 innings.
 
The hosts built a 6-0 advantage with two runs in the first and four more in the second before the Braves got going in the top of the third. Rios Jimenez singled to first with two outs and Barna followed with a hit up the middle. Hamilton then drove a 2-1 offering to right for a bases-clearing double.
 
Alcorn pulled to within 6-5 with three runs in the fifth. Walden bunted for a single to start off the inning and proceeded to steal second. An Acklin sacrifice bunt moved Walden to third and the senior from Atlanta, Ga. came home on a Rios Jimenez double down the right-field line. Back-to-back singles then ran the bases full. The Purple and Gold picked up another tally on a fielder's choice out at second and a McGowan single up the middle.
 
With the Braves now in striking distance, the Redhawks took back the momentum with six runs in the bottom half of the frame. The home team's lone hit in the inning hurt the most as Seattle homered with the bases juiced. Alcorn was unable to recover and the two teams traded a run in the eighth for the final score.
