The two teams were trading runs over the first two innings. The 'Dons were up 1-0 two batters in on an RBI-double by Justin Osterhouse. Kevin Hall knocked in Osterhouse with a ground ball later in the frame. YSU matched the Mastodons' two runs with two of their own in the bottom of the first.
Jackson Micheels drove in two of the Mastodons' four runs in the top of the second on an RBI single. The Mastodons' 6-2 lead was short lived as YSU responded with five in the bottom of the second inning.
The Mastodons were held off the scoreboard until the seventh when Hall hit a solo home run over the left field wall. It was his fifth home run of the season.
Youngstown State put the game away with a four-run eighth inning. Nathan Beckley had a two-run home run in the inning.
Trent Murphy (2-5) took the loss. Braden Gebhardt came out of the pen to get the win for the Penguins going 7.0 innings. Aidan Murphy allowed one run in 3.0 innings in relief for the 'Dons.
Brooks Sailors, Osterhouse and Hall each had two hits in the contest.
Purdue Fort Wayne scored once in the ninth and loaded the bases, but the game ended on a double play to end the threat.
Youngstown State improves to 18-40 and moves on to play on Thursday. The 'Dons finish the 2025 season 11-42.
