Jackson would add to their lead in the sixth inning. Jon Conkle led off the frame with a double. He would be replaced by the pinch-running Jack Dear who would score from an error. Another pinch-runner, Mitch Balla, would score via a bases loaded walk.
Isaac Mathie (2-2) pitched a complete game for Louisville giving up just 2 earned runs on 7 hits. The Polar Bears have now defeated the Leopards in their past 8 meetings, which includes the last 6 at Jackson.
