  • Spring Arbor scored the game's first run in the second inning when a double to right field by Peyton Harding drove in Evan Lorey.
  • The Cougars added three more in the third inning. This time it was an extra-base hit by Lorey that brought home Bryce Richey and Moran. Lorey later scored on a single by Mast.
