Colby quickly answered again, plating two runs in the bottom of the fourth to swing back in front at 5-4. Conqs tied the game in the fifth with another RBI single by Longoria and then in the sixth regained the lead for good scoring three including a two-run homer by Jordi Guerrero. Cameron Stewart shut down the Trojans of Colby, keeping them off the scoreboard over the final three innings as the Conqs earned the 8-5 win.

After a scoreless second, the Conqs used five free passes to get two runs in the third and lead 5-1. Colby again belted a solo home run in the bottom of the third to get back on the board.

Colby continued to make a push, scoring two in the bottom of the ninth, but the Conqs worked through the inning to earn the 11-7 win.
