The game was scoreless through the first three innings, but in the bottom of the fourth the Jaguars jumped ahead with two runs to take a 2-0 lead over RTCA.

RTCA answered in the top of the sixth inning as they plated three runs to pull ahead, 3-2, over TJ. RTCA held in the bottom of the sixth and in the seventh inning to take the Region win, 3- 2.
