Now it was time for the Berry offense to open up and climb back down 9-3. Two runs on two hits from Pendleton and Riley Uhls claimed two runs for Berry in the fifth and Rowan Billings on the mound allowed no more Falcon runs in the top of the sixth.

Five runs to capture the lead in the top of the eighth clinched the victory for the Vikings. Four hits for Berry pushed for two mound visits for the Falcons and a replacement on the mound. The pitching staff for Berry held it down for the remainder of the game as the bats stayed hot at the plate for the Vikings.

The top of the ninth showed seven more runs on six hits in the cold weather to shut down any hope from Pfeiffer with Berry taking down the Falcons once again this season and claiming their second win at the D3 College Showcase.
