After the Eagles leveled the score in the third inning, UChicago wasted no time retaking the lead with two more runs in the fourth inning. After back-to-back singled by Jack Sharp and Brady Miller, Nathan Bae brought home Sharp and Michael Gladden scored Miller on his second sacrifice fly of the game for a 5-3 advantage.
