In game one, Harding's offense exploded early, as the Bisons scored 7 runs in the first three innings. The Tigers responded in the bottom of the third, however, scoring two runs off a Keegan Ghidotti RBI-single and a Chris Tavares RBI-double.
 
The Bisons added to their 7-2 lead over the next two innings, scoring a run in the fourth and a run in the fifth.  Another RBI-single from Ghidotti gave the Tigers one more run, before Harding added a run in the seventh to take a 10-3 lead.
 
In the bottom of the seventh, the Tigers attempted a comeback, scoring four runs in the inning. The scoring started with an RBI-double down the left field line by Landon Moore that scored Justin Weigle. Ghidotti then recorded his third and fourth RBI on a single up the middle that scored Parker Norris and Moore. Sean Noland followed with another single to left center that scored Ghidotti, which brought the score to 10-7. With runners on second and third, Harding's Andrew Fiddler came in to pitch and struck out three consecutive batters to end the comeback.
 
A scoreless eighth and ninth inning ended the game with Harding ahead 10-7. Logan Holthaus earned the win for Harding, and Luis De Jesus was handed the loss. Josh Reeves, Drew Feuerbacher, Austin Watson and Ghidotti also pitched for the Tigers.
