The Bears opened up a 6-0 lead and held that lead heading into the bottom of the sixth before the Knights batters went to work and cut the lead in half at 6-3.

Eisenhower chose Aiden Nichols and Cole Kellogg alone. Cameron Jakobczak singled to drive in Nichols to put the Knights on the board. Kyle Hunt followed with a two-run single to make it 6-3.

With the Knights down to their last out, Nicholls singled to drive in English and cut the lead to 6-4.
