UWM scored a run in the fourth inning when Scott Gillitzer drew a leadoff walk and eventually scored on a Steve Tylke single. The Panthers added another run in the sixth when Todd Ludwig doubled advanced on a balk and scored on Brett Huebner's sacrifice fly to right field.

In game two, UWM rebounded for a 7-1 win. Quintin Oldenburg picked up the win by allowing a run in four and two-thirds innings.
