Derek Orshall drew a walk and later came home on a throwing error. Austin Lockart came up with a 2 RBI single to score Will Dunaway and Sean Henry. That put the Tigers up 6-1 but they were not done. Travlean Wood scored on a Nick Breeden RBI single and then Pittman hit another triple that scored Hensen and Breeden. Malone took a 9-1 lead and then held FAMU scoreless in the top of the second inning.
Malone picked up another run in the bottom of the second when Henry scored on a throwing error to make it 10-1. In the bottom of the third inning Breeden came home to score on a RBI single by Orshall. After Malone loaded the bases Lockart ripped a triple down the line to score three Tigers and make it a 14-1 game. Lockart then came home on a wild pitch to give Malone a 14 run lead.
