The Broncos loaded the bases to start the 1st inning thanks to walks to Colin Kober and Kameron Esthay, sandwiched around a base hit by Zach Rome. Evan Campbell then walked to drive in the first run. Adam Chase followed up with a single that plated another. Blaise McCoy then lashed a double to the right center field wall to garner two ribbies. Derek LaPorte capped the scoring with a two run single.
Sam Houston scored two more runs in the second inning highlighted by an Eric Peterson triple to drive in a run. The team also scored single runs in the third and fifth innings, with Blake Caswell knocking in a run in the third on a sharp single.
