· RBI singles of the bats of David Chabut (second frame), Jeremy Howell (third inning), and Chris Erwin (fourth) deadlocked the ballgame at 3-3 after four innings of action.
· Kennesaw State then continued its momentum in the fifth when sophomore Grant Williams knocked his second double of the day to bring home a pair of Owls to take a 5-3 advantage and senior catcher Brennan Morgan brought home the Owls' sixth run with a one-out RBI double in the sixth.
· However, the contest came down to the final three frames after Jacksonville fought back to tie the tilt at 6-6 with its second three-run inning in the bottom half of the sixth.
· However, the Dolphins scored the last run of the ballgame with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to even the series.
· KSU used five pitchers on the day, as righty Gabe Friese got the start. He tossed 5.1 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits.
· Mason Ward and Brock Turner worked scoreless outings out of the bullpen for Kennesaw State.
