The Eagles scored all seven of their runs in the first five innings and were able to hold off the Lions the rest of the way for the four-run victory.

Blake Thomas kept the Eagles at bay allowing no runs over the final four and two-thirds innings. PC scored two runs in the third and one in the seventh but could get trim the deficit to less than four runs.
