The Sharks got all of their runs in the second inning after Dungey doubled and Ashley Iseri walked, Torres brought them home with a 2-RBI double. The Aina followed with an RBI single to plate Torres for the 3-0 lead.
 
That held until the Chaminade fifth, when a single and an error set up an RBI single by Kobe Brown, followed by an RBI double from Malia Moisa for a 3-2 HPU advantage.
 
The bottom of the seventh set the stage for the Swords. After a leadoff single, HPU committed errors on consecutive plays to allow Keaolani Takemura to tie the score at 3-3. Torres got the Sharks out of the inning to send the contest to extra frames.
 
The game stayed knotted at 3-all entering the 10th, allowing each team to start the inning with a runner at second.

The Swords followed by sacrificing their leadoff runner to third, then winning the game on a single by Genera over a shallow playing outfield for the 4-3 victory.
