Third Inning
Ottawa erupted for eight runs in a decisive frame.
  • RBI single from Jeremy Freeman, Jr.
  • Go-ahead grand slam from Julius Ryan to right-center. It was the 22nd grand slam in program history and Ryan's second this season.
  • RBI walk from Dylan Snead capped the rally
By inning's end, Ottawa had flipped the 4–1 deficit into a commanding 9–4 lead — and never looked back.

Middle Innings
The Braves tacked on three more in the fifth, highlighted by: An RBI double from Kaiden Hoapili in the sixth extended the margin to 13–4.

Ottawa added one more in the seventh after forcing another defensive miscue.

On the Mound
After a tough opening frame, the Braves bullpen slammed the door.

Luis Diaz delivered a dominant 6.1-inning performance, allowing zero hits and striking out seven. Southwestern did not record a hit after the second inning.

Complete control. Complete shutdown.
