Two batters and one out later Bret Fehr (SIU Edwardsville) had a sacrifice fly to deep right field scoring Harris to give the Rafters an early and commanding 3-0 lead.

With two outs, Bret Fehr advanced on an error and Jake Dunham (Northern Illinois) stretched a double to score Fehr making the score 4-2.
