But in the top of the fifth inning, the MCHS offense got going as they scored four runs to close the lead to 8-4. Dublin answered with two more runs in the bottom half of the frame, but in the top of the sixth inning, MCHS scored six runs to tie the game at 10-10.

Montgomery held in the bottom of the sixth inning, but could not add to their total in the top of the seventh inning. In the bottom of the final inning, Dublin was able to get a run across as they took the win, 11-10, over the Eagles.

MCHS added a run in the third inning, but Telfair answered in the top of the fourth inning to lead 5-2.
