The Bisons first faced the Lions of Southeastern Louisiana in a five-inning defeat. The Lions started off with a run in in each of the first two innings, earning their points off of RBIs with a homer for Southeastern Louisiana's Watson.

The Lions then racked up three run in the 3rd inning after they took advantage of a wild pitch and loaded bases to push the score up 5-0 heading into the top of the 4th. A scoreless fourth frame for the Bisons and four RBIs for the Lions pushed Southeastern Louisiana to a 9-0 lead. With the Bisons unable to front a response in the top of the 5th, the game was called, and the Lions handed the Bisons their second loss of the tournament.
