Mendenhall started the game for the Mustangs, striking out eight Hornet batters and allowing only three runs over seven innings. The Hornets were led by first baseman Brooks Colin who went 1-2 at the plate with one run batted in. Defensively the Hornets catcher, Matt Fisher, allowed only one Mason base runner to steal a base the entire game. 

The ‘Stangs played “small ball” until the sixth inning, when the Mustang bats started cracking. Paul Mene hit a single through the second and first baseman with one out to get  to first base. Mendenhall then was hit by a pitch, advancing Mene to second base, and putting himself on first base. The next batter, Brandon Ting, stepped up to the plate and hit a grounder to the Hornet’s shortstop, forcing an out at second base. This left Paul Mene at third base and Brandon Ting at first base with two outs. After the first pitch to Mason batter Matt Dorr, Brandon Ting safely stole second base. With two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Matt Dorr hit a single up the middle to drive in Mene and Ting, making the score 5-3. In the top of the seventh inning Mendenhall came in and closed out the game for the Mustangs, sealing the victory.
