The Cougars' Tito Andino and Andre Vieyra knocking back-to-back triples ignited a ten run first inning off of Southeast's Nicholas Farleigh. Additional hits by Aaron Gile, Scott Tyler, Aaron Coombs, Alex King, and Andino to go along with a Vieyra double and Gile triple accounted for nine hits total in the inning to go along with three Southeast errors.

After a leadoff walk by reliever Brett Tunnell to begin the third, a passed ball and fielding error helped get the Storm on the board. A subsequent RBI single by Dylan Oberembt scored the second run of the inning as the Storm scored two runs on one hit and an error.
With Tunnell still on the mound for the fourth, the Storm's Mitch Scheuler led off the inning with a double. Tunnell then struck out Creighton Wilke and induced a Nick Marcuzzo fly out to center. Dalton Dreifurst then singled home Schueler to narrow the Barton lead to 12-3.

Wilke led off the Storm sixth with a solo shot to right field to account for Southeast's final run.

Blaine Hill got the win for Barton pitching two innings of no-hit ball as the freshman from Manhattan, Kansas, struck out two of the seven batters he faced. Farleigh took the loss for Southeast giving up ten runs with only three earned in going 4.1 innings with five strikeouts.
