- In the bottom of fifth, sophomore Brian Zapp led off with a single. Following a sac bunt, redshirt freshman Benji Brokemond tripled down the right-field line, giving the RedHawks a 3-2 lead. However, the Broncos came up with two runs in the top of the seventh to come through with the win over the RedHawks.
