Ostrander's hit gave Ozarks a 6-0 advantage. East Texas Baptist did respond with a four-run third inning and a four-run fourth inning to move ahead 8-6. The Eagles battled back to score one run in the fifth, but the Tigers scored twice in the bottom half of the frame. Ozarks continued its consistency at the plate and added a run in the sixth on a Bryant sacrifice fly. The Tigers got the run back and added another in the bottom of the sixth to lead 12-8 and then retired the side in the seventh to finish the contest. Ozarks pounded out 11 hits, with Ventress, Bryant and Taylor Teague all recording two hits.
