The Cowboys kept the momentum rolling into Sundays nine-inning affair, scoring 4 runs in the top of the third inning to take a 4-0 lead. JT Mossberg held the Mavericks to one hit and a walk, going three up – three down in the 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th innings, before Harrison Rogers hit a solo home run over the left field fence, to make it 4-1 in the Cowboys favor.
 
Another solo home run for the Mavericks cut the lead to two runs before a CMU rally in the top of the eighth inning scored three runners for the Mavericks to give them an eventual 5-4 win.
