Air Force jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after scoring in the top half of the second, but UNLV took a 2-1 lead in the third inning after Joey Armstrong brought home Rodriguez on a triple to left center. Armstrong scored on the same play, coming home after a throwing error by the left fielder.

The Falcons reclaimed the lead in the top half of the fourth, plating a pair of runs and tacked on two more runs in the top half of the fifth.

The Rebels cut into the deficit in the bottom half of the fifth with two runs of their own. Squier was hit by a pitch to start the inning and advanced to second on a Montes single to right field. The duo moved up a base on a double steal, and Squier came on home on an Air Force error that also allowed Montes to advance to third.

Montes later scored on a Dylan Ellis sacrifice fly to left field to bring Air Force's lead to 5-4.
