However, UT Martin starter Carter Smith (3-8) settled in after the rough first frame and held the Govs without a run for the next five innings. He was only threaten again in the fourth inning when Austin Peay loaded the bases with two outs, but induced a line drive out to end the threat.

Left fielder Andrew Castillo then added a two-out, three-run home run to put the Skyhawks ahead 5-3 after two innings.
