A sacrifice fly from Ardoin pushed David across the plate. LeBlanc followed with a single and three runs scored on a triple from Stuart Schexnayder.

After the Knights answered with a run in the bottom of the second inning and four more in the bottom of the third inning, the Trojans needed to get some insurance runs.
