Mississippi Delta responded immediately in the top of the fifth as the Trojans' Austin Ashley scored off Clay LaBeff's RBI-single up the middle, cutting the Rangers' lead to 2-1. Ayreon Davis then tied things up for the Trojans in the sixth by stealing third and then advancing home on an error.

Northwest got a run back in the bottom of the seventh as a throwing error allowed Jamell Newson to score and put the Rangers back on top at 3-2. With two outs in the ninth, the Trojans forced extra innings by scoring on a passed ball to tie the contest at 3-3.
