            The Crusaders jumped on the scoreboard in the first inning with a sacrifice fly to lead 1-0 after one. WCU added three more in the third to make it 4-0 before CBC got back-to-back home runs in the sixth from Kinley Johnson and Abi West for all of their scoring. Alex Jeter went the distance for the Mustangs, allowing 10 hits and four runs with two strikeouts.

LSU-A would put an end to the contest shortly after, scoring two in the fifth and three in the sixth to finish the run rule win.
