Saint James built an early 8 run lead and had to hold on as the Eagles had the potential tying runs in scoring position in the seventh inning, but the Trojans evened their season record at 6 - 6 with their fourth straight victory.

The Trojans scored two in the bottom of the first inning.  Ethan Beard doubled.  After a fly out, Carson Howard singled.  K.J. Jackson then singled to knock in Beard and Howard would later score on a Tyson Eley sacrifice fly.  M A added a run in the top of the second on a pair of walks, a stolen base, and an RBI groundout by Luke Nelson.

Saint James sent 13 men to the plate in the third and scored 7 on 7 hits to take a 9 - 1 lead.  Beard's second double of the game knocked in two.  He would have 3 hits, as would Zac Russell and Eley in the game.  The teams traded runs in the fourth inning before the Eagles would score three in the top of the fifth on a bases clearing double by starting pitcher Thomas Woodward.  Saint James added what appeared to be a mere insurance run in the bottom of the sixth on a Russell single to knock in Kevin Taylor.

M A started the top of the seventh trailing 11 - 5 with a pair of walks which were followed by two quick outs.  Luke Nelson kept the game alive with a two run double to cut the lead to four.  Woodward and Walton Norrell followed with singles to knock in Nelson.  Another single by Ridge Lindsey scored Woodward and a wild pitch put runners on second and third.  However, Foster Rasmussen managed to strike out Carter Wallis to end what became a thrilling game.
