The Cougars added to their lead in the fourth inning, using a sacrifice fly and an RBI single to push the advantage to 6-0. 

The Warhawks got on the board in the bottom of the fourth as Kyle Hipp connected his seventh homerun of the season, a solo home run to left center, cutting into the deficit at 6-1. 

AUM added another run in the fifth inning when catcher Alec Hotaling doubled to lead off the frame and later came around to score on a sacrifice fly from Thomas Lemmond, making it 6-2. 

Columbus State was held in check over the next few innings, but broke the game open in the eighth. The Cougars plated 12 runs on nine hits, taking advantage of multiple base runners and extending their lead to 18-2. 

The Warhawks were unable to respond in the bottom half, as Columbus State secured the 18-2 victory.
