How it Happened
The Gorillas wasted no time getting on the board, as they scored one in the top of the first. NSU had a chance to respond in the bottom of the second when Dylan Hight and Traice Hartter both drew two-out walks, but they couldn't bring in a run.

After Pitt State added a run in the third, and posted three in the fourth, the RiverHawks offense came alive in the fifth when Reid Fehr led off with a double down the left field line. He advanced to third on a flyout off the bat of Collin Klingensmith before scoring when Jaxon Phipps hit a sacrifice fly to get NSU on the board.

The RiverHawks would kick things into gear in the bottom of the sixth, scoring two runs on two hits, all of which came with two outs. It started when Nic Swanson singled into right-center field. Hight then stepped up to the plate and blasted his second home run of the season to bring NSU to within two. The RiverHawks would then get runners to first and second, but the inning would end without any more runs.

After allowing Pitt State to score an insurance run in the top of the eighth, NSU came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth looking to pull off the comeback. Klingensmith got things started with a one-out double, scoring when Freeman singled into left field, but the RiverHawks offense would fail to score any more runs.
