The Cyclones had opportunities to score throughout the game but were unable to capitalize early. Atlantic starter Kale Jensen escaped the jam with a fly out and a ground out to keep the game scoreless. The Cyclones stranded two more runners in the fourth after Reynolds walked and Cade Nelson reached safely before threatening again in the fifth. Joseph Gross followed with an infield single and later stole second to put two runners in scoring position, but Atlantic escaped further damage. Reynolds lifted a fly ball deep enough to right field, allowing Schneider to score and send the Cyclones into celebration with the 2-1 walk-off victory.
