HOW IT HAPPENED

• Teams were scoreless headed into the bottom of the third, when the Tritons were able to plate the first three runs of the afternoon to take the lead.
• Shortstop Alex Epp was hit by the first pitch of the fifth inning, a walk and another hit batter would load the bases for Dawson Tweet who placed a two-RBI single up the middle to bring the Cardinals within a run.
• Jewell was able to tie things up in the sixth with a lead-off homer from Ben Click to left.
• Down 6-3 in the seventh, Jewell again would cut the Triton lead to one with RBI singles from Tweet and Jonah Sanford.
• After UMSL went up 8-5 in the seventh, a lead-off walk put Cale Blasi on base, Epp followed with a double one batter later. Then a throwing error by the Triton's second baseman would clear the bases and put Jewell down by once again. 
• A single in the ninth from Sanford would be the only comeback Jewell would be able to mount as the final came 8-7.
