Game one began with a solo home run from Logan Matson (Jr.-Neillsville, WI) to give Eau Claire an initial 1-0 lead. Matson would hit another home run in the fifth inning, his third of the season.

Following a single from Chase Yaeger (Fr.-Black River Falls, WI), Nate Witte (Fr.-Woodbury, MN/East Ridge) record a two-run homer that sent the Blugolds into the bottom of the fifth with a 4-0 advantage.

The Pointers took back two runs in the fifth and sixth innings before the Blugolds added two of their own in the seventh. Matson crossed plate for the third time in the game off a single from Otto Treichel (So.-Madison, WI/West), which also scored Henry Pitsch (Fr.-Madison, WI/West).
