In that same inning, center fielder Carter Thomas (FR, Wayne State [NE]) reached on an error and scored Evers and Weston Barber (FR, SWiCC) to tie the game.

Joplin re-took the lead on a wild pitch in the bottom of the inning, but pinch-hitter Bubba Thompson (SO, Clarke University) broke his bat on a double to score catcher Isaac Short (FR, Northwestern College [IA]) to tie the game in the top of the 8th.

On his 19th birthday, Jeter “Doc” Fulbright IV (FR, University of the Ozarks) made his first start of the season in his third appearance and threw five strikeouts in five innings.

Diego Morales (FR, Bryant & Stratton [VA]) relieved him for an inning and added another strikeout, while Parker Stewart (FR, Northeast CC [NE]) threw three innings as the closer with five strikeouts of his own.
