After Dean retired the side with ease, West Georgia's bats got right back to work as Prince delivered a two-run single to extend their lead to five. 
 
Both offensives were stifled in the next few innings before Jackson Webb pushed the Wolves' lead to six in the sixth with an RBI-single. Moments later, with the bases loaded, Prince was hit by a pitch which drove in McConnell before Hatcher broke the game open with a two-run single, extending West Georgia's lead to 9-0.
