Dixie State (7-3) evened the score in the home half of the frame on a Miles Bice sacrifice fly and would take a 3-1 lead in the second with a pair of unearned runs. Trey Kamachi picked up an RBI on a bunt single and Drew McLaughlin, who reached on a single to right field, managed to score from third on the back end of a double-steal attempt before Kamachi was tagged out in a rundown.
Saint Martin’s trimmed the deficit to 3-2 in the top of the third, but the Trailblazers got that run back in the bottom of the stanza thanks to a Tyler Baker run-scoring flyout. The rain returned in the fourth and intensified in the top half of the fifth inning as SMU looked to tie or take the lead. The Saints had two on with one out, but DSU righthander Dylan File (W, 1-0) struck out the final two batters he faced to escape the jam and make it an official game.
