The Leopards were led by senior Mark Glover who drove in the team's lone run on the afternoon, going 1-for-4 from the plate.

VMI (2-4) responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 3-1 lead and then added one more run in the bottom of the fifth to make it 4-1 heading into the sixth inning.

The Leopards threated in the seventh inning after senior Trey Durrah started off the inning with a walk. Durrah than advanced to second on a wild pitch to open up first for sophomore Dylan Minghini. Durrah tried to go home and was thrown out at the plate to leave Minghini the lone Leopard on base.  

Senior Colin Hartey then reached base on a fielding error by the Keydets first baseman, sending Minghini to second and then both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Senior Jake Sniegocki then walked to load the bases for the Leopards but freshman Patrick Vandenbergh couldn't connect and struck out swinging to end the inning.

The Keydets added five more runs in the bottom of the eighth to take the second game of the series 9-1.
