The Jackrabbits threatened in the third inning with a leadoff single, where the batter was advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt; however, back-to-back strikeouts ended the threat.
The Mastodon offense came out firing again, as the IPFW offense put together a two-out rally, loading the bases with three consecutive singles loading the bases, before Pugh singled home a pair to give the game its 9-0 final score.
