After a scoreless first inning, Ohio's offense unleashed on Toledo in the top of the second. The Bobcats scored five runs on three hits and one error. After a single by senior Jackson Cauthron (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), Mancino hit an RBI triple to put Ohio on the board. Mancino scored Ohio's second run after graduate student Blake Reed (Gahanna, Ohio) reached first on a fielder's choice. After a couple at bats, the bases were full. Toledo walked sophomore Trae Cassidy (Northville, Mich.), allowing Reed to score. A sac fly by Slanker brought home graduate student Trenton Neuer (Nicholasville, Ky.). Ohio's final scoring play of the inning was an RBI single by redshirt senior Nick Dolan (Pittsburgh, Pa.). Freshman Matt Ineich (South Lyon, Mich.) scored on Dolan's single and the Bobcats led the Rockets, 5-0 after two innings of play.
 
Toledo cut Ohio's lead to 5-3 in the third inning.
 
 Ohio increased its lead to 7-3 in the top of the fourth inning. The inning started with back-to-back singles by Slanker and Dolan. A sac bunt by Cauthron put Ohio in a scoring position. Mancino's sac fly brought home Slanker. Dolan scored Ohio's seventh run off an RBI single by Reed.
 
In the top of the fifth inning, Ohio scored four more runs on four hits. With two players on base, Slanker slammed a three-run home run to center field. Cauthron and Mancino put the Bobcats up 11-4.
