Blake Carroll would reach on a dropped third strike to start the home first, and Sloan and Slade Moseley would each pick up singles to get things started. With one out, Kael Feichtinger would reach on an error by the shortstop and Brody Whitlow would double down the left-field line and the Panthers would score four to claim a 4-3 lead. Hayden Jackson would take the mound to start the second inning and issue a leadoff walk that would eventually turn into a run in the inning and tie the game at 4 moving into the home-half of the second. A one-out double from Carroll put a runner in scoring position, but Carroll would be cut down on a throw to the plate from the first baseman. The Panther inning remained alive with hits from Sloan and Slade Moseley ahead of a three-run homerun by Maddox Cagle to give the Panthers a 7-4 lead. Jackson worked around a leadoff error to keep the Rebels off the board in the third, but the Panthers couldn't capitalize on a one-out single from Barnes and the score remained 7-4 after three. Jackson gave up back-to-back one-out hits and a walk in the fourth, bringing in the Rebels fifth run of the game and the score was 7-5 after three and a half innings. Slade Moseley would draw a walk and move around to score on an error on a hit by Feichtinger and the Panther lead would increase to 8-5 after four complete.
