A walk, an infield single, and another walk loaded the bases early before Edmeston picked off a runner at third before another walk to reload. Parker McCracken doubled to left to drive in two before a run scored on an error and a McCracken steal of home plate. Chance Beeman singled to right to drive in a run. Edmeston answered with two runs in the top of the second before Sherburne scored its final run in the bottom of the third on an error.
