The Bears would get on the board first via a solo homer by Sophomore Outfielder William Veillon to left field. After one, the Bears led 1 to 0. The Bears would erupt for 7 runs, in the second inning. The scoring would begin  when Freshman Lane Hutchinson would hit a two-run homer to centerfield.

Finally, catcher Parker Autry would hit a two-run homer to centerfield. In the second inning, the Bears connected on 4 home runs. After two innings, the Bears led 8 to 0. The Bears bats would go silent in the third inning, but they would regain their fire, in the fourth inning, when they would put up another crooked number. The Bears would score 6 more runs, in the fourth inning. Gavin Green was dealing on the mound for the Bears. He held the Cavs scoreless for the first three innings. Bossier Parish would finally get on the board, in the fourth inning, with 3 runs. The highlight of their inning was a two-run homer by a Breen.
