St. Thomas worked its way out to a 5-0 lead with multiple runs in both the third and fifth frames.
The Jacks' comeback bid began in the bottom half of the fifth. With Reece Anderson and Jordan Sagedahl in scoring position, Cael Frost knocked a two-RBI single through the left side to put the Jacks on the board. SDSU plated another run in the sixth. Andersen put a ball in play that resulted in a throwing error, allowing Jess Bellows to reach home on a fielder's choice to pull SDSU within two.
With two outs on the board in the seventh, Bryce Ronken pinch hit for the Jacks' and sent a shot deep down the left field line to score Luke Luskey and Cade Stuff, tying the game at 5-5.
Dawson Parry won the game in dramatic fashion for the Jackrabbits. With Cael Frost and Sagedahl aboard, Parry homered on a 3-2 count to give SDSU its first lead of the contest. Davis Carr recorded an RBI single later in the frame to score pinch-runner Thatcher Kozal for the 9-5 final score.
