Game 1 – UAH 11, Trevecca 7
The Chargers used a late offensive explosion and a career performance on the mound to take Game 1.
After battling back and forth through the early innings, UAH broke the game open in the seventh inning, plating six runs in a decisive stretch that flipped the game in their favor. The inning began with traffic on the bases before Taylor Bush drew a bases-loaded walk to force in a run, trimming the deficit.
