Starting the 1-0 lead, the Mallards scored once again in the fourth off an RBI double by Nick Gile (Madison College) to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>In the top of the fifth, Madison\u2019s lead was cut in half when CJ Willis (LSU) slammed an RBI triple into the outfield wall. Then, Harry Fullerton (University of New Mexico) hit an RBI to score another run, tying the game at two a piece.<\/p>\n<p>The Mallards began to struggle in the top of the sixth. Deylan Miley (Bellarmine) gave up a home run to Jake Durham (Northern Illinois) to put the Rafters ahead 3-2. Adding to their lead, the Rafters scored off a sac fly from Willis to make the score 4-2.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing by two in the bottom of the ninth, Drew Benefield gave hope to the Mallards after hitting a solo home run to cut the Rafters lead by one with two outs.
