The Raiders got on the scoreboard in the first inning and led 2-0 after a single, a couple of walks, and two hit batsmen.

Trinity scored again in the second after another walk and a double. Edmonson County answered in the bottom of the third after Hunter Wilson singled and advanced to second on a passed ball. He then advanced to third on Andrew Talley's lineout to right field and later stole home for the Wildcats' first run of the game. After stolen bases from Michael Mills, the Cats got another run and then back-to-back doubles from Alex Elkins and Lane Ashley tied the score at 3-3.

Unfortunately for Edmonson County, their offense would be stagnant from there as small ball got two more runs across for Trinity in the 5th and 6th innings.

Edmonson County finishes their season with a record of 11-15.
