Coppin State answered with single runs in the second and third innings, but Norfolk State continued to build its advantage. Journette launched a solo home run in the second, marking his 50th career home run, while Mompoint followed with a solo shot later in the inning to extend the lead to 11-1.
 

The Spartans added another run in the third on a sacrifice fly from Israel and tacked on one more in the fourth with an RBI single from Kydese Queen. Norfolk State broke the game open in the fifth inning, scoring eight runs on just three hits while capitalizing on walks and hit-by-pitches. Israel delivered a two-run double in the inning, and the Spartans pushed the lead to 20-2.
 

Norfolk State closed out the game behind strong relief pitching from Snoh, who retired the side in order in the seventh to secure the run-rule victory.
