Starting on the pitch for the Panthers, Sean Duffy allowed no hits for the Phoenix through the first three.
 
Elon made moves in the top of the fourth, scoring two runs off three hits. Barely staying in fair territory, the Phoenix tied the game 1-1 with a homer just over the left field fence. A sacrifice fly gave the Phoenix the one run game.
 
Keeping Elon on their toes, High Point returned the call in the bottom of the fourth. Taking advantage of some fielding mistakes by the Phoenix, the Panthers took the lead back, scoring two runs off two hits. A big hit from pinch hitter Miggy Echazarreta scored the first run. After loading the bases from a walk, a balk by Elon's pitcher scored the Panthers second run of the inning to take the 3-2 lead.

In the top of the ninth, the Phoenix went on to extend their lead to four adding two runs from a throwing error by the Panthers. With one more opportunity for the HPU to close the gap, the Phoenix secured the 7-3 win with three straight outs.
