8^th Inning – Wright State surrendered a run in the third inning, and scoring lulled for four straight innings.

9^th Inning – Zane Harris hit Wright State's first grand slam of the season in the ninth inning, and JD Orr added a single to put the game out of reach at 12-1. The Musketeers would get one back in the bottom of the inning, but the Raiders would take the game by a score of 12-2.
