At 8:35pm Trevecca's Keith Black delivered the opening pitch of the game. Four hours, 11 innings, 15 runs, 23 hits, and 79 batters later, Trojan reliever Nathan Brown walked in the winning run as Union won a marathon first round conference tournament game by a score of 8-7 in 11 innings. Union's Andy Davidson held the Trojans scoreless for the first seven innings while Trevecca's Keith Black gave up four runs in five innings as Union took the 4-0 lead midway through the game. The Trojans battled back in the 8th inning led by a pair of pinch hitters, Billy Johnson and James Sparkman, who each drove in runs in their only at bats as Trevecca tied the game 4-4. Trevecca's Shawn Sabo and Union's Cory Engle then shut down both offensive sides and the game remained at a 4-4 tie until both teams exploded in the 11th inning. Led by Trojan Dusty Johnson's two RBI single, Trevecca took a seemingly insurmountable 7-4 lead in the top half of the 11th, but three walks and a devastating error in the bottom half of the inning allowed the Bulldogs of Union to rally for four runs on three hits to steal the victory 8-7.
