- The RedHawks got on the board in the top of the first inning. JJ Woolwine led off with a single and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Zach MacDonald, putting the visitors up 1-0.

- NIU answered back with a leadoff homer in the fifth inning, cutting the Miami advantage to 3-1.
- The Huskies added an unearned run in the eighth to make it 3-2, but reliever Luke Leverton recorded a key bases-loaded strikeout to preserve the RedHawks' lead.
- Miami added an insurance run in the top of the ninth, as Andrews was hit by a pitch, advanced around the bases on a Stephen Krause groundout and MacDonald single, and eventually came in to score on a Northern Illinois error.
