Chipola threatened in the bottom of the seventh but managed only one run before the Pirates closed out the game. Taft Middleton had an impressive performance, going 3-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBIs. Kaden Wilks and Drew Reaves also contributed with home runs. Cole Ingole earned the win, pitching 2.2 innings, while Dalton Biggs closed the game strong, allowing only four hits.
