The second inning rally included an RBI single by Razier Vanhousen to give Sayre a 7-5 lead, a two-RBI double by Jakobi Smith to make it 10-5, and an RBI single by Andrew Howey to cap the rally at 11-5.

U-E closed the gap to 11-7 with two runs in the top of the third inning, but Sayre closed out the game via the 15-run rule with 11 runs in the home half of the inning.
