Marco Cabrera, making his first career start, got the ball first for Berry in the crucial game three. Cabrera worked a quick first, sitting the Stormy Petrels down in order in the first inning. Oglethorpe fought back in the second, taking Cabrera out of the game and scoring four runs before Cam Welsh came in to put out the fire. The Stormy Petrels added a fifth run in the third inning to make the score 5-0 after three.

A two-out two RBI single from Chase Edmonds brought in two runs to cut the deficit to three in the top of the fourth.

The stormy Petrels tacked on one more to increase the lead to six and hold a 9-3 lead going into the seventh inning. Jon Strydom threw up a zero in the seventh inning, and Mason Schoonover followed that with another zero in the eighth.
