The Falcons were held scoreless for the first three innings before they finally got on the board with a couple of runs in the fourth. David Thomas knocked in one run with a sacrifice fly, and Jake Schomaker followed that up with an RBI single to center. While Air Force cut Gardner-Webb's lead in half to 4-2 at that point, the Falcons would not get any closer. Pitching was the story for GWU; Air Force managed a total of four hits all afternoon.
