Presbyterian tied it at two apiece in the second inning of a leadoff home run.

Charleston Southern stretched out their lead to 5-2 with a BJ Banyon single followed by a sacrifice fly from Bogdanchik in the bottom of the 6^th.
 
Presbyterian's offense and four defensive errors by Charleston Southern let the Blue Hose break loose and score eight runs over the final three innings to take their first lead since the restart with them now leading 10-5. For the Bucs in the 7^th and 8^th innings, each inning ended on a double play as they got runners on.
