Eastern Kentucky tied the game in the home half of the first after scoring an unearned run and then took its first lead of the series in the second as Luke Wurzelbacher, Kyle Nowlin and Doug Teegarden each drove in a run for a 4-1 lead.
Jax State cut the lead to 4-2 in the third as Gavin Golsan reached on a one-out double and scored after Bishop singled to left center, but EKU answered in the home half of the inning.
