The Spartans took advantage of two Metro-East errors to score their sixth run of the game for a 6-1 advantage. Chase Hainline bunted back to pitcher Simon Hoffman, who bobbled the ball for an error. Hainline then stole second. With Hainline running to third, Matt Frahm hit a one-hopper to third baseman Dusty Shimkus that went by Shimkus as Hainline scored and Frahm stopped at second.
