Jason Priest, Brendan Trimble and Chris Iliopoulos all followed with singles with the last two plating two more runs to close the gap to 9-8.
 
Joey Gardner led off the eighth with one of his three hits on the afternoon. T.J. Wood reached on an error while trying to sacrifice Gardner into scoring position. The lineup rolled over to the top and King delievered a two-run double down the left field line to put Truman on top.
 
Agliolo would score an insurance run on a single by Trimble.
 
Alex Hoffmann, who came into the game in the eighth inning, allowed a one-out single in the ninth but then got the twin killing to end the game. Hoffman followed starter Kent Frantz and Adrian Morris to the mound for the Bulldogs. Frantz lasted three innings allowing eight hits and striking out five.
