- Wofford added two more runs in the third to extend the lead to 15-0.
- Queens answered in the fourth when Hunter Huneycutt doubled to left field, driving in Bradley Brown to get the Royals on the board.
- Wofford closed out the scoring with five runs in the fifth inning, capitalizing on a mix of hits and defensive miscues.
