In the fifth inning, Schuck tripled to deep left-center field to score Schneider, and Fontenot followed with an RBI double to make it 11-0.

Louisiana Christian broke up the shutout in the seventh inning on an RBI double by Braden McLin, cutting the deficit to 11-1.

On the mound, Garrett Blanchard earned his first win of the season, improving to 1-2 after tossing 4.2 innings while allowing just one hit and one run with three strikeouts and one walk.
