Moxey made it a 5-1 game with a sacrifice fly three batters later.
 
Manchester got runs in the third and fourth to cut the deficit to 5-3, but a three-run fifth pushed the Tech advantage to 8-3.

The Warriors tacked on five more runs in the seventh, with the final three coming with two outs in the frame to give the hosts the 10-run lead. Jayden Reed got things started with a one-out double that scored Stultz while Daftari drove in Dalton Swinehart with a sacrifice fly to make it 11-4. Following back-to-back walks to load the bases and make it a 12-4 game, Moxey singled in the final two runs to seal the win.
