The third game posed a challenge for Loyola, but they prevailed nonetheless, winning 4-3.

The close game was a result of Rust getting ahead of Loyola with two runs in the fourth inning.

Loyola jumped ahead but Rust tied the game 3-3 with a run in the sixth. The game went into extra innings.

In the eighth, Rosenbohm stole second base and sophomore Jesse Jordan popped a single to center to send Rosenbohm home. Loyola clinched the victory.
