How It Happened
Second Inning

Fifth Inning
USM took a 7-0 lead after plating six runs in the inning, with the last three runs coming across as unearned.
Three consecutive singles for the Dukes to begin the home half of the inning set up Langley to connect on a grand slam to make it a three-run game. It was the first grand slam hit by a Duke since 2024.
Seventh Inning
A bases-clearing-three-run double for USM pushed its lead to six runs with a 10-4 score.
Ninth Inning
The Dukes took a run back, scoring on a double play to make it 10-5.
