 How It Happened
 
After getting a pair of lead-off batters on base to open the game, Nick Upstill singled to center field to bring Sammy Gonzales home. Colorado Springs threatened in the bottom of the second with a runner on third but a six-four-three double played ended the inning and stranded the runner.
 
In the top of the fourth with bases loaded and no outs, Gavin Haimovitz hit a base clearing double to deep left center to put the Gators up 4-0. After a pitching change from the Mountain Lions, the Gators got a pair of RBI walks to increase the lead to six.
 
Mountain Lions scratched home plate once in the bottom of the fourth and fifth to cut the Gators' lead to 6-2. Gonzales hit into a double play with no outs in the top of the sixth, allowing the runner at third to score. The Gators faced some adversity in the bottom of the sixth when a double brought in two UCCS runners with two outs but a pop fly ended the inning.

Up 7-4 in the ninth, the lead-off batter singled and would make his way around the bases but the Gators were able to keep the bases clear of Mountain Lions and get three straight outs.
