The Travelers batted around in the inning, scoring five runs on four hits, along with three Indians defensive errors. Trevor Wigglesworth had the two-run hit after Rudyard All-Stater James Burton doubled. The Indians were down, 7-3, when the bottom of the seventh Cody Frappier was hit by a pitch and rode home on Martin's long home run to right field against EUP reliever Jake Hopper. Cooper Cavadeas then drew a walk, and with two out, Hanson's RBI single made it a 7-6 game. Braeden Lamberg then walked, and the Soo went to the bullpen. The Travelers brought in Sault High ace Logan Bailey, and the Bay College recruit struck out Ben Kelly swinging with the tying run at third and the winning run at second.
