For the second day in a row, the Bisons got on the board early using an RBI single by Branden Cadavid in the second to take a 1-0 lead.

In game two, Alcorn State took their first lead of the series with a run in the first off Bisons' right-hander, Matt Schnelly.

However, the Bisons would rally with three runs in the fourth to give Lipscomb a 3-1 lead. The big hit was a two-run double by Cadavid.

Alcorn State added two runs in the fifth to tie the score at three.

Charles Williams relieved Schnelly in the sixth. He threw a scoreless sixth before giving up a walk-off homerun in the seventh to record the loss and drop his record to 1-2.
