Junior Brian Coburn followed Greenly's lead, sending a long fly ball to center field, scoring Greenly and giving the Chargers a commanding 3-0 lead. In the next inning, Greenly again would bring in Hunt off a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 4-0.
 
The Wildcats, however, would use two huge innings in the fourth and fifth running out to a 12-4 lead. The Chargers tried to swing the momentum back in favor of keeping the hopes alive, but the Wildcats scored two more runs through the eighth inning to win 14-4 and end the Chargers' 2023 season.
