Dominican scored three times in the top of the fourth to lead 6-3 but the Mustangs cut the deficit to 6-4 with a run in the bottom of the inning.

Dominican extended the lead in each of the next three innings, scoring twice in the fifth and sixth frames and once in the seventh to make it 11-4 before Assumption scored twice in the bottom of the seventh to complete the scoring.
