After going down 1-0 after the first inning, RCC tied the game in the top of the third inning after Ruby McDonald scored on a fielder's choice.

The game took a turn in the fifth after the Falcons plated four runs and then put the run-rule in play in the bottom of the sixth with another three runs, 10-2, to end the game early.
