Senior Braxton Boyle and Jordan Lawlar each hit a double as junior Gavin Perryman drove in a run.
 
Princeton scored two runs in the top of the first, but Jesuit struck back with two runs in the second. Mack came home on a wild pitch for Jesuit's first run of the game before Perryman stole home on a dropped third strike to tie the game up. After Princeton retook the lead in the third, Mack laced a two-run single to center that plated Boyle and Jones to give Jesuit its first lead of the game before Perryman added to the lead with a single to center in the third which placed Lawlar.
 
Day faced his final jam of the game in the top of the fourth, as Princeton had two men in scoring position with two outs. Day ended the inning with a strikeout to end the threat, then retired the Panthers in order in the top of the fifth. Mack drove in his third run of the game by driving home Lawlar with a single to right in the bottom of the inning, allowing Cox to come in with a two-run lead.

The Jackrabbits scored the game-tying run with two outs in the top of the seventh after a leadoff triple jumpstarted the comeback.
