Saint Peter's managed to get within one in the sixth after scoring three runs on three hits, but the Red Foxes added an insurance run in the bottom of the inning to secure the win. An RBI double by Patt Farrel, an RBI single by Rawson and an RBI groundout by Matt Speckmann accounted for the last three Peacock runs.

Saint Peter's added a pair of runs in the fourth and fifth, including the go-ahead run, both driven in by Brian Schroeder. In the fourth Schroeder blasted a solo home run to left field and in the fifth he grounded out to second, bringing home Chris Grimes who singled on earlier in the inning.
